CD 1
|
|
Trinidad, Land Of Calypso
There is a bouncy, party kind of sound to this. The tune is Latin in texture, playful and fun. |
|
Donkey City
This bouncy little tune is even more Latin in style. It's another entertaining one. |
|
Man Smart - Woman Smarter
I love the lyrics to this and the fun nature of the piece. |
|
No Glamour Girl For Me
This is a tasty dance-inspiring piece. |
|
Madeleine
Bouncy and fun, this is one of the standout tracks here in a lot of ways. |
|
Food From The West Indies
More bouncy calypso music is the order of business here. This is entertaining, but not a highlight. |
|
Mother And Wife
A slower groove, this works well. The lyrics are a tribute to mothers everywhere, but at the expense of wives.. |
|
Love, Love, Love
More energetic and bouncy, I really like this one a lot. It's so much fun. |
|
Parbo Calypso
The groove on this is infectious. I love the jazzy kind of guitar soloing on the tune. In fact, that solo is purely on fire. This is one of the highlights of the disc for sure. |
|
Tina And Bambula
I really like the guitar work on this bouncy little number, too. It's another particularly fun tune. |
|
Pineapple Princess
While not a big change, this is another good time party number. |
|
Take Me To Locero
There is a fun groove and some cool piano work on this playful song. |
|
Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well
I dig the piano playing on this number. There is some cool jazzy, early rock and roll based guitar soloing on the song, too. This is a real party cut. |
|
Calypso Cha Cha
Bouncy and fun, this is a dance-line kind of number. |
|
CD 2
|
|
Pretty Woman
Another bouncy calypso tune, this is a fun one. |
|
Wai Wai Sofaya
I love the tentative arrangement at the start of this where various instruments come and go as accompaniment to the vocals. This is another tune that's a lot of fun. |
|
Raspeballer Boys
I'm not as crazy about this tune as I am some of the rest. Still, it works pretty well. |
|
The Most Rightiest Woman
With some jazz in the treatment, this tune is a step back in the right direction. It is fun. |
|
Beautiful Para Kitch
This has a gentle, fun groove to it. It's a fun number. |
|
Divorce By Television
This bouncy little tune is another playful and entertaining one. |
|
Fifty Woman To One Man
Here we get another bouncy little number. Nothing Earth-shattering, it's effective. |
|
Let Me Call You Mathilda
Another that's a tasty hunk of more of the same, I like this a lot. |
|
Johnny
With a British character in the tune, this is theatrical and funny number. I really love the guitar work on it. |
|
Last Train To San Fernando
Not a big departure from much of the music here, this is just a party number. |
|
Amstel Beer Calypso
You have to love a song about beer. Well, at least I do. This is essentially a commercial jingle done as a song. Now I want an Amstel beer. |
|
Op Een Klein Stationnetje
Here we get another plug for Amstel Beer, but in German. This is jazzy and entertaining. |
|
Amsterdam Calypso
Here is an alternate version of the same piece. It's fun and has some cool instrumental work. |
|
Beeeeeer! Amstel Beer!
The closer is another beer jingle song.
