Within the first few seconds of "Night Nurse," you are aware that you are in the presence of staggering genius. Gregory Isaacs is one of the most underrated artists of all time. His body of work is second only to Bob Marley in the history of reggae. There are several reasons why this may be. First, unlike more successful artists whose works have few real flaws, Gregory Isaacs was inconsistent and perhaps his management should have restrained him for the sake of his career. But apparently he was under a contract that basically rewarded quantity over quality. This does not really bother me, although it perhaps distracted his output. Gregory's career also suffered due to hard drugs and his voice was reportedly badly damaged by cocaine addiction.
Gregory Isaacs is primarily known for his love songs. It's unfortunate that people don't look at his other songs, which is mostly quite focused on poverty and the turmoil of love with grace and sophistication.
