1950’s pre-Reggae Jamaican Calypso music. The sound quality is not perfect, but the songs are catchy and each one is a gem in its own way and the lyrics along are worth a listen. Fun, warm, and catchy throughout. Good stuff, this, especially: 2. Fun & bouncy w/nice work from the band. 4. Midtempo w/a definite touch of jazz. 6. Midtempo vocals/perc. Very cool. 7. Blend of vox/chorus/perc. Bouncy w/a nice kind of whine. 8. Lazy but fun w/good vocals/arrangement. 10. Clicking percussion, warm vox, a relaxed feeling. 12. Banjo, percussion, vox. Fun, bouncy. 13. Happy & lively w/nice percussion. 14. Sweet medley. A good sample of the music. 15. Banjo, vox. Warm & catchy. 17. A classic Calypso sway. | ||
