got put on to exuma by that great good faythe and did some research of my own to uncover the self-titled debut from back about 1970 on mercury records. holy moises rojas alouette je te plumerai. basically a junkanoo jiving dr. john the night tripper stomping haiti voodoo bahamania. richie havens screaming street parade blues, all silver whistles and eyes rolled back. this particular track is love's "everybody's gotta live," chicken-fried in shoestrings on rubberband jukebox blast. but the real jam, "the obeah man," is over at cold splinters and you'd be a tallheaded fool to miss either.

wow. thanks for the exuma songs.
pure genius he was.
unique and trippy.
"like bob marley's unknown crazy cousin" someone said and well, that's a reference as good as any.
Listening, at the moment. to the amazing african album
"saraba" by Ifang Bondi.
It fits good with exuma although they are not similar...
