Risco Connection + Joe Isaacs - Good Times
Review by Cindy Arrighi
Good Times, the collaborative album by Risco Connection and Joe Isaacs, is a must-listen for any lover of reggae music. The album features a perfect blend of classic reggae sounds and modern production techniques, resulting in a refreshing and invigorating experience.
The album opens with the title track "Good Times," a feel-good tune with a catchy melody and a positive message. The upbeat tempo and lively instrumentation set the tone for the rest of the album. "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" is another standout track, featuring a driving bassline and soulful vocals.
Throughout the album, Risco Connection and Joe Isaacs showcase their musical prowess, seamlessly blending elements of ska, rocksteady, and dub. The result is a dynamic and eclectic album that never fails to entertain.
One of the highlights of the album is the track "Jah Promise," which features a powerful vocal performance from Isaacs and a hauntingly beautiful melody. The song is a testament to the enduring power of reggae music and its ability to inspire and uplift listeners.

Notes
- This release comes originally in a shrinkwrapped cardboard sleeve, with a white paper innersleeve.
- It looks like to be an 'unofficial' reissue of 'Good Times' from Chic, covered by the Risco Connection band and the drummer / producer Joe Isaacs. The many Reggae / Ska / Rocksteady influences, ala The Soul Brothers, from the band, explains the tempo variations, the reverb and the instruments used for the tracks (at this period, vocalists Otis Gayle and Lorna Brooks were members of the band). The original release of this cover was named 'Goods Times / One More Time' before, and it was probably released few times after 'Good Times' by Chic, in 1979 or 1980.
