Just gotta say a few words about this lovely old CD by Blind Blake
& the Royal Victoria Hotel Calypsos. I believe the press release is
quite adequate at selling what is essentially the perfect Summer
album but I gotta say all of us really dug this collection of quirky
classics.

It's the perfect combination of calypso, trad West Indian rhythms &
blues ballads that sounds delightfully fresh, soulful & musically rich
as it probably did back in the day. The mastering is clear & bright
and every song on 'Bahamian Songs' leaves me hankering for
more, these songs really set you in a good mood!
Not surprised the Beach Boys adapted Sloop John B from this
amazing set.....
