'Til Now - Thank you Gabby!.......2003-07-23
I have been looking for a collection of Gabby's songs for years, and this one has some of my favorite Gabby songs. I first heard Bridgetown in Barbados and loved it! Soom of these songs are old friends: Bridgetown, Jack, Boots, and the extremely moving Emmerton. All these songs were based on events from Gabby's life. Hit It, Cadavers, The List, West Indian Polititian, Gisela, Debra, Chicken and Ram, Pow Pow, and Dr. Cassandra were new to me and very enjoyable and so very Gabby! Unfortunately, the album just makes me want more of his work, those not on this album! Let's have more Gabby!
Great Album!.......2002-10-24
Gabby is undoubtedly one of the greatest, but also unfortunately perhaps one of the most overlooked, calypsonians of this era. His collection of songs spans the entire range within the soca/calypso genre - from social commentary to political satire to humor to plain "jump up soca" - Gabby has it all.
Such impressive variety is surpassed only possibly by the depth of the composition and the clarity of the rendition.
This album is fantastic. The selections adequately incorporates all of the elements alluded to above. I highly recommend this album to everyone - from the serious calypso connoisseur to the person seeking an introduction to the style, range and tempo of the calypso artform.
I only wish it had a couple more of his songs. Nevertheless, as it is, it's great!
'Til Now.......2002-04-03
This is an excellent compilation of some of Gabby's greatest hits. It really gives you a great appreciation of this man's outstanding talent in all aspects of being a great calypsonian. (singer, writer etc.). He is and always will be my favorite artists of this century.
