Isaacs'
reggae
cool spot
in a show
of surprises
he hasa true grasp of good social songs,
like "Mr. Brown" (from his Soon For-
ward LP of 1979) and "Carry On,"
where he cautions that "We ain't gonna
linger no more."
His voice doesn't have really great
range, but what a tone! He stays
always within his pop reggae form and
uses it effectively. I kind of missed the
Heptones; instead, the Raddics gave a
fairly straightforward Jamaican
sound, sometimes sounding like gospel
when keyboardist Gladstone Anderson
took to his high vibration organ. Bingy
Bunny on rhythm guitar, "Dwight" on
lead, Leroy Sibbles, and the om-
nipresent percussionist whose name
eludes me round out the very capable
group of musicians. They have a sound
close to "Misty in Roots" but without
the missionary pretense.
Isaacs has a new domestic album,
austerely titled Mr. Isaacs. This collec-
tion of songs released earlier abroad
contains all the Isaacs dancing,
crooning, and thinking qualities
represented at his Chance appearance.
The LP songs, including "Sacrifice,"
"Storybook Children," and "Get
Ready," are all worthy of his growing
reputation in this country as reggae
hitmaker without relying on preaching
or parochialism (as opposed, say, to
Steel Pulse, coming to Detroit August
20th).
Back at the Chance on Thursday
night, Isaacs wound up a fine chorus of
"I don't wanna be lonely tonight" and
retired to the backroom. Returning for
one encore, he described the multi-
meaning fate of any rasta man ven-
turing out for reggae fame: "I'm a
leaving on to Babylon." The whole
thing was done without inappropriate
artificial fanfare; Isaacs knew where
he stood and he made sure people could
dance.
A typically cool show from one of the
coolestreggae acts around. ,
