Mr COOL RULER!

No waxing poetics today. No picking up the pieces today. Just rolling the stone nice and lazy like. Not an ounce of animosity shaking my bones. Today is a hazy humid day overshadowed by a thunder head leering off in the distance. I got my fingers crossed it blows in soon. I am hoping it splits open the sky above my home. That would be a sigh of relief. The much needed rain bouncing off my roof.



Extra Classic is an album's worth of A side singles and their flip B side dubs. Each tune is gold spun from different producers controlling different studios. If you have never heard a Gregory Isaacs record before then prepare to slow time down. Not stop it, just lay the groove so far back that the clock seems to tic the minutes off a few seconds late. Gregory delivers his words with the patience of a Saint. Gregory sings songs filled with love. Deepest affection for Jah. Brotherly respect for his fellow sufferah, and big romantic gestures towards the ladies. Gregory could be called a Rastaman cupid-his arrows strike their bullseyes straight thru the heart, but his arrows float in the air a little longer than gravity usually allows. That is Gregory's gift. Defying laws graciously.
