| | Carnival In Rio CD
Identical to the 1994 Legacy released compilation of the same name, 2007's Carnival in Rio (out on Collectables) is comprised of ten sambas (some better known and some not at all). Don't be fooled by the titles, however. Though some of the tracks are indeed sung in Portuguese (by whom, we don't know, as there are no credits listed), many of them have the words in English, which, while it doesn't sound bad, certainly takes away from the overall exoticness and tropicalness of the idea of a Carnaval -- note the spelling change -- in Brazil. For as ubiquitous as Brazilian music and samba (and bossa and MPB) are now, there are plenty of equally priced but better-compiled collections out there that are at least more authentic sounding, if nothing else. ~ Marisa Brown Carnival In Rio Review

| | Gregory Isaacs Night Nurse CD (1982) Remastered
Carnival In Rio CD music
$10.45 A classic release from one of Jamaica's greats, NIGHT NURSE shows the Cool Ruler at his best--performing melodic, chilled reggae such as the title track and "Hot Stepper." The title track was a hit for Simply Red when they covered it in 1997. Although at his most prolific in the mid '80s, when he was beset by financial problems, Isaacs managed to maintain the quality of his material as this album proves. The Roots Radics provide excellent backing for Isaacs' smooth vocals. Perhaps a bit too mellow for fans of more militant reggae such as that purveyed by the Revolutionaries, time has nevertheless proved this to be a classic reggae album--the epitome of the feel-good Jamaican sound.
Although his 1981 album, More Gregory, was picked up for international distribution, Gregory Isaacs' 1982 release, Night Nurse, was his first to be designed for an audience outside Jamaica. Accordingly, Island Records head Chris Blackwell upgraded the overall sound quality, ...
