Like a prism, over the years Gregory Isaacs has reflected virtually every aspect of the contemporary Jamaican music scene, from bouncy reggae to deepest roots, gentlest lovers rock to toughest dancehall. Pardon Me!, however, is arguably his most vivacious, and the backing 809 band revel in the opportunities, reeling out bright and brash accompaniments, all upbeat and slathered with melody. Isaacs has reason to be in a grand mood, the story of why begins with "Christmas Behind the Bars," a miserable place indeed to spend the festive season. But none of that is reflected in the breezy accompaniment, even as the singer recalls the indignities and sorrows of his prison experience. For that's all behind him, since the "Judge and Jury" found him not guilty, putting Isaacs in a celebratory mood. No wonder then that even a run-in with "Mister Cop" can't dampen his spirits, and it's left to guesting DJ Macka B to add a touch of gravidas to the situation. That latter number is a splendid calypso-tinged recut of Isaacs' 1976 Lee Perry produced classic, "House of the Rising Sun" is a cover of the traditional blues masterpiece, the only somber song on the set. It's also one of the stand-outs, boasting one of Isaacs' most extraordinary performances. In a much lighter mood is the bouncy title track, where the singer much to his embarrassment discovers he can't cover the restaurant bill. Perhaps Isaacs' should be asking his date to open up her wallet instead of begging her to "Open Up Your Heart". Besides, any man who dedicates the heartfelt "Pride & Dignity" to his own mom, and mothers everywhere, deserves to be cut some slack. By the time this album is over you'll agree that Isaacs will indeed "Kill Them with Music," while Dean Fraser is equally adept at slaying them with his sax. This song, which kicks off the set, beautifully sets the stage with its infectious melody, breezy backing, and sweet harmonies. Isaacs has released some soul-less sets in recent years, but this irresistible album wipes the slate clean.
