Mr. Isaacs finds Gregory Isaacs moving between lovers rock tenderness and roots conviction, a 1977 album that ranks among the finest full-lengths of his long career.
By the mid-1970s Isaacs was one of Jamaica's most in-demand voices, cutting singles for a long list of producers, and this record shows the full breadth of his talent. Better known for romantic material, he proves equally commanding on cultural themes, delivering pointed songs about oppression and freedom without ever losing the velvet in his delivery.
"Slave Master" is the standout, a brooding roots anthem later immortalised when he performed it in the film Rockers. "Storm" became an early dancehall favourite, its rhythm rebuilt dozens of times in the decades since, while his covers of the Temptations' "Get Ready" and the Silvertones' "Smile" reveal a deep love of soul and rocksteady.
Throughout, the rhythms are lean and heavy, leaving acres of space for that unmistakable voice to glide, plead and preach. Few singers could switch from heartbreak to righteous anger so smoothly, and here he does it within a single side, never raising his voice to make the point.
A cornerstone of 1970s reggae, Mr. Isaacs sits comfortably beside Cool Ruler and Night Nurse as a highlight for anyone exploring the singer's deep and rewarding catalogue.
