Dread Flimstone Presents Gregory Isaacs - The Kool Ruler Inna Dance Curfew

Review by Richard Haggerty

Dread Flimstone Presents Gregory Isaacs' album "The Kool Ruler Inna Dance Curfew" is a masterpiece of reggae music. The album, released in 1990, features 10 tracks that showcase the legendary Gregory Isaacs' smooth vocals and powerful lyrics.

From the opening track "Dance Curfew" to the closing "My Number One", the album takes the listener on a journey through Isaacs' world of love, politics, and social commentary. The songs are supported by the excellent production of Dread Flimstone, who skillfully blends traditional reggae rhythms with modern sounds.

The standout tracks on the album include "Puff the Magic Dragon", a powerful anti-drug song that features Isaacs' signature falsetto, and "Rumours", a scathing critique of gossip and hearsay. The album also features a cover of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song", which Isaacs delivers with the same passion and intensity as the original.

"The Kool Ruler Inna Dance Curfew" is a must-have for any reggae fan. The combination of Gregory Isaacs' soulful vocals and Dread Flimstone's expert production makes for an unforgettable listening experience.
