The Cool Ruler Rides Out Of Town #5

Gregory Issacs – I Am Sorry

Coming down the home straight of the Cool Ruler tribute with one of my ALL time favourites from the Cool Ruler. As far as I’m concerned NO ‘Lonely Lover’ tribute would be complete without this cut. Epitomises why Gregory was and will always be the Denham Town DON. Going out to all the men whose foolish pride restricts them from speaking from the heart and to all the women who deserve an apology from them….

“If I am wrong then I am sorry, I didn’t mean to make her blue,
If I am wrong then I am sorry…deep in my heart I know It’s true….”

The Cool Ruler Rides Out Of Town #4

Gregory Isaacs – Surrender

Day 4 of the Cool Ruler Tribute and today it’s a cut from a period in Gregory’s career that for me stands as tall as anything that he delivered during his 40 year career at the TOP of the tree. BOSS selection from 1998 on the aptly titled ‘Incredible Music’ label. Anyone who knows should agree that as far as Reggae is concerned it’s more about the 45’s than the LP’s and this is no exception…
