Mitchum, Robert
Calypso Is Like So... (180 Gr)
Cornbread Records present a reissue of Robert Mitchum's Calypso - Is Like So, originally released in 1957. While filming
in Trinidad in 1957, Robert Mitchum soaked up local music talent like Lord Melody and Mighty Sparrow. The result shows
in this amazing experiment of pure Caribbean calypso in which the number one icon of Hollywood coolness insists on
imitating the broken English of many of the original calypso artists (this is "dis" and "the" is often dropped), while
singing a bunch of traditional Caribbean songs. Complete with the requisite steel drums, congas, and backing horns,
along with a few Elvis-styled rockers. 180 gram vinyl; Includes download code.
