Various Artists- Bahamas 2: Anthems Work / Various
When reading Samuel Charters' saga of his search for Frederick McQueen, one gets the sense that he is chasing a ghost on the Bahamas' largest island of Andros - coincidentally known for it's mysticism and unearthly objects. What Charters discovers, however, is one of the country's greatest ballad singers and in the process recorded several examples of the dying art of Bahamian three-part contrapuntal singing, as on "Pytoria (Run, Come See Jerusalem)" or "A Great Day is Coming".
Tracklist:
- Dig My Grave Both Long And Narrow
- Depend On Me
- Take Your Burden To the Lord And Leave It There
- Service At St. Stephen's Anglican Church
- A Wake
- Jesus Will Be Your Friend
- A Great Day Is Coming
- Long Summer Days
- Young Gal, Swing Your Tail
- Pytoria (Run, Come See Jerusalem)
- Curry Camp Burned Down
- Cecil Gone In The Time of Storm
