Home!!! Grew-up listening to these songs. The local radio station played these on Sat. evening!! Pig feet souse, family by the light of the lamp!!! These songs make me "feel" every sensation experienced during those nights!!

In 1953 my parents brought this album back from Nassau when I was 4, it's the first music I remember. It's wonderful, thanks for posting it.

Brilliant, my dad was given this as a collection of 78s in the early 50s on returning to the UK after nsome years working in Nassau, what a singer.

I am just discovering that this artist exists. I can't wait to go to Amoeba Records and get my hands on some of his 10's.

I can distinguish all of the lyrics except for 8:55 . "The cap'n ......... got drunk. Broke up the people's trunk. The police came on board and take him away." what did he say during ........ ?

[@theflamingredone]

I think it's 'the captain and the mate got drunk' - 'mate' being a colloquial term for a naval rank.

Take him to jail, without any bail I want to go hooom ...

[@unabonger777]

not blind blake

[@Verseucht]

It's Blind Blake the calypso singer, not Blind Blake the bluesman...

[@sonjaclark6021]

There is an American Blind Blake and a Bahamian Blind Blake. This is the Bahamian.

[@ryanlile6429]

This confused me for a long time…
