With the exception of George Coleman, steel drums are usually a little monochromatic to my ear. But the Caribbean pop-funk played here is spritely, shimmery, and yes, close enough to deserve the somewhat overused funk label. Even the usually bland Esso Steel Band gets tight with a version of the Jackson 5 smash 'I Want You Back'. Lots more covers, of the Supremes, Neil Young & James Brown. Tracklisting: Syd Jones & the Troubadours-Cardova, Troubadours-No Names Bar, Dutch Rhythm Steel & Show Band-Funky Stuff, St Vincent's Supersound Latinaires Orchestra-Hot Pants I'm Comin, East Side Symphony-Hot Pants Road, Esso Trinidad Steel Band-I Want You Back, Willie Dickinson & the Playboys-Licking Stick, Wendell Stuart & the Downbeaters-My World Is Empty Without You, St Vincent's Supersound Latinaires Orchestra-Roasted Or Fried, Dutch Rhythm Steel & Showband-Down By the River, Guinness Cassanovas-Stormy.
