Duke Errol

Artist: Duke Errol
LP: Calypso Island
Song: "Bally Mena"
[ listen ]

Here's a neat calypso record I found at the new Bop Street Records location in Ballard last week. The liner notes say that this is the best Duke Errol record to date—so I took it out to dinner on Saturday night, and then we caught the new Mike Leigh movie. I'm not really one to kiss and tell, but let's just say I was making coffee for two on Sunday morning. You can read all about the life and career of former taxi entrepreneur Errol Strachan (aka. Duke Errol) on the Verum Serum website here, where you can also listen to a few more of his songs.
