Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Byron Lee, the driving force behind Jamaica's Calypso-soca scene, is also the brains behind that island's rapidly expanding carnival celebration. Years ago he threw a little fete on the Kingston campus of the University of the West Indies; today the several-weeks-long event features a full pantheon of Caribbean Calypso and soca stars, a tentative hybrid called "soggae," as well as concerts headlined by Jamaican vintage artists, the greats of ska, rock steady, and early reggae. The dizzying array of events, parties, parades, and marches draws celebrants from all over the world, including other islands, especially Trinidadians, who come not only to quench an insatiable party thirst but to cast a nervous eye on the competition. For this set, Lee and his band re-create the unique flavor of Jamaican carnival with their interpretations of hits by leading exponents like Trinidad's David Rudder and Machel Montano. Although measuring up to the original interpretations is near impossible, the Dragonaires acquit themselves admirably, and while some find soca's insistent thudding beat monotonous, Lee and company prove that from armchair dancer to "champion bubbler," no one can resist soca's call to "jump and wine." --Elena Oumano

- Great buy!
I bought this CD when I was homesick for some soca tunes, and I was not disappointed. It is a great addition to the music collection of those who like soca. Personal favorite is footsteps. My kids who are american love it too!

- 100% PURE SOCA AT IT'S BEST!
IF YOU ARE JUST BEGINNING TO GET FAMILIAR WITH SOCA MUSIC, THIS CD IS A GREAT ONE TO START OFF YOUR COLLECTION. IF YOU WANT TO GET IN THE CARIBBEAN MOOD I GUARANTEE YOU THIS ONE WILL DO IT. LISTENING TO THE SONG "DOGGIE" BROUGHT BACK SOME GREAT MEMORIES FROM THE JOLLY ROGER TOUR DOWN IN BARBADOS. IT SEEMS THAT BYRON LEE KNOWS HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO START DANCING CARIBBEAN STYLE!

Rating:

- Great soca CD
This is a great SOCA CD. Byron Lee's band covers music by other SOCA artists, mostly from Trinidad. His version of High Mas by David Rudder is even better than the original!

Rating:

- Byron Lee is a legend.
Having been born and brought up in St Lucia in the Caribbean, I work and live all over the world, but always have Byron Lee to hand to keep me happy and remind me of the Caribbean and its sunshine and partying atmosphere.

Byron Lee is essential and will raise the spirits whenever played. Classic stuff.
