One of today's thrift store scores for the mere sum of 25 cents....
*edit:
Because i was asked in the comments to add some music here is the 1st track off this album and a little info!
The album is from 1957 and the Duke of Iron was born Cecil Anderson in Trinidad and was a master of the art of calypso music.
The Duke was stalwart in retaining Calypso as a true form of Trinidad culture. He says " Calypso has a different rhythm all of it's own, it may resemble this and that at times but it is in a class by itself where rhythm, style and delivery is concerned. Some singers are trying to change Calypso but I want to keep it as it is.
Dig it!

ReplyDeleteman i got boxes of these things put away from years ago.... i don't go crazy on them though, no ebay $20.00 "cover" albums. I just pick 'em up along the way and never rpay more than a buck or two and then that is ONLY from the old man because i feel i need to help him buy his bush boottles....

Any plans to post the actual music? Or did you just buy the cover?
ReplyDeletebut of course!!!
ReplyDeletei'll try and put a few up in the next few days!
One of my favorite songs. I really enjoyed hearing this version.
ReplyDeleteIt's no Robert Mitchum (Calypso is Like So), but it will do in a pinch.
