EXUMa - Do Wah Nanny '1970

Tracks list

Exumas third album, and first for the Kama Sutra label, moves away a bit from
the voodoo imagery of his two Mercury albums, instead going for a good-timey
sound similar to the New Orleans gumbo of Dr. John. The Bahamian
singer/guitarist adds a horn section to some tunes, most notably the two-part
title track, a rollicking, hypnotic groove. The expanded instrumentation
supports Exumas growly voice and primal acoustic guitar instead of supplanting
it, as it would on later, more commercially inclined albums. Call and response
vocals, snaky percussion, and an increased element of social commentary color
songs like Silver City and The Bowery. Exuma and his mostly percussive band wend
their way through the eight mostly lengthy (22nd Century runs nine droning
minutes) tracks with the mixture of smoldering passion and infectious joy thats
at the heart of Bahamian music.
