Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his immensely popular documentation of Caribbean tourist entertainment, the blind bandleader delivers another energetic set of acoustic stringband music. The rapid-fire banjo playing and driving goombay rhythms provide a vibrant, unpolished accompaniment to his localized vocal styling. The album remains a fascinating, authentic slice of early 1950s Bahamian folklore and hotel nightlife.
