Gregory Isaacs - Why Keep Me Waiting

Review by Parker Young

Why Keep Me Waiting? Gregory Isaacs Serves Up a Reggae Gem Worth the Wait Alright, let’s talk about Why Keep Me Waiting by Gregory Isaacs, a reggae classic that doesn’t just vibe—it vibes hard. Released under the Charm label in the UK, this album is smooth like butter on a hot summer day but still packs enough punch to keep you hooked. With producers Al Campbell and Tony Phillips at the helm, it’s no wonder this record feels both polished and raw, kinda like your favorite pair of jeans. Now, I’ll be honest—this isn’t one of those albums where every track slaps you across the face (though some come close). But two tracks stood out for me so much that they’ve been stuck in my head like gum on a shoe: “Why Keep Me Waiting?” and “Version.” First up, the title track, “Why Keep Me Waiting?” It’s got all the makings of a quintessential Gregory Isaacs banger—smooth vocals dripping with emotion, a bassline so deep you could swim in it, and lyrics that make you go, “Yeah, I’ve totally felt that way before.” The whole song feels like a late-night phone call from someone who misses you but won’t admit it outright. You know, that mix of longing and frustration? Yeah, Isaacs nails it here. And the groove? Forget about it. Your feet will start moving whether you want them to or not. Then there’s “Version,” which is basically the instrumental flip side of “Why Keep Me Waiting?” If you’re into how reggae can strip a tune down to its bones and let the rhythm breathe, this one’s for you. There’s something oddly hypnotic about hearing the same riddim without vocals—it’s like seeing an old friend wearing different clothes. Plus, the production is so crisp it practically sparkles, thanks to Campbell and Phillips doing their thing behind the scenes. What makes this album stick around in my brain isn’t just the music itself—it’s how effortless it feels. Like, did Gregory even try this hard when he recorded these tracks? Or was he just chilling in the studio, sipping tea, and letting his voice do all the work? Either way, it works wonders. So yeah, Why Keep Me Waiting might not change your life, but it’ll definitely upgrade your playlist. Whether you’re vibing solo or throwing a low-key party, this album has got your back. Just don’t blame me if you end up playing it on repeat for days. Final thought: If Gregory Isaacs were a chef instead of a musician, this album would be his signature dish—simple ingredients done perfectly. Oh, and maybe served with extra plantains because… why not?
