Two Time Loser - Gregory Isaacs

Advantages: Great Voice and Persona
Disadvantages: Rarely heard now in Mainstream

...It's rather unfortunate that Bob Marley was taken on by Island Records as I'm sure that history would have consigned Bob and the Wailers to the voluminous dustbin of Jamaican music had it been otherwise. As it is, many great reggae singers have missed their chance and drifted into obscurity, overshadowed by Chris Blackwell's creation, Bob Marley. One Jamaican artist that has all but 'disappeared' is Gregory Isaacs, 'The Cool Ruler', a man who refused to bow to the major labels and started his own studio at The African Museum Shop in Kingston.

Some of them looked good enough to eat. I pointed excitedly as I noticed ones that I had read reviews on, dismissing one as my sister pointed 'What about this one?' and I remembered I'd read a less than complimentary review on it. But it was the bright pink bar that you see at the top of your screen which my eyes finally came to rest upon. And it was this that I bought.
