Re-upped Tomato

The link has expired from the first time I posted this album on this blog in 2007, but fortunately you can get this great album with saucy calypso by The Charmer, Lord Kitchener, and the Duke of Iron at listentoyourears.

Duke of Iron - Parakeets

Calypso Carnival

Now available--1950s calypso tunes from the Duke of Iron, including the Naughty Fly, Woman Police, Loving Woman is a Waste of Time, and the Big Bamboo (the definitive version, for those keeping score).

Don't Touch Me Tomato!

A spectacularly kitschy album cover, paired with some great calypso sides from Lord Kitchener, the Duke of Iron, and The Charmer (who, after retiring from music began a second career under the name of Louis Farrakhan).
