Night Nurse: The Best of Gregory Isaacs

by Gregory Isaacs

Overview

Gregory Isaacs' death in 2010 robbed Jamaica of one of its greatest lovers rock voices. Ever graceful and ever prolific, and seemingly a music industry all to himself, Isaacs smoothly navigated the Kingston waters from the roots era through the dancehall era, all without changing much of what he did. This two-disc set makes a nice in-depth introduction to the singer, with disc one (called Extra Classic) covering the years 1970 to 1978 and the second (Cream of the Crop) covering the years 1979 to 1985. ~ Steve Leggett
