REVIEW “The CD version of Arhoolie's vinyl Wilmoth Houdini collection has been expanded to twenty-four tracks and presents the premier exponent of the calypso singer's art in the 1930's commenting on everything from `Unfortunate Milley' to `Mickey Cipriani's Career' and `The Bandsman Shooting Case.' Once again the notes are by John Cowley - although they date from 1984 and the original issue - and the general presentation, as ever with Arhoolie, is excellent. Highly recommended.”(Ray Templeton and Keith Briggs — Blues & Rhythm) |
