Exuma's debut album was a real odd piece of work, even by the
standards of the late '60s and early '70s, when major labels went
further out on a limb to throw weird stuff at the public to see
what would stick than they ever had before or have since. Roughly
speaking, it's kind of like a combination of the Bahamian folk of
Joseph Spence with early Dr. John at his most voodooed-out, though
even that nutshell doesn't really do justice to how unusual this
record is. Often it seems more like eavesdropping on a tribal
ritual than listening to songs. Some of the tracks, indeed, have
little or less to do with conventional "songs" than with tunes and
lyrics; they're more akin to Mardi Gras street percussion jams
airlifted to the Caribbean islands. Exuma and his accompanists make
quite a spooky clamor with their various bells, foot drums,
chanting, gasps, sighs, shouts, and other percussive instruments,
creating a mood both celebratory and scary. He's not totally averse
to using more standard song forms, though, singing about "zombies
walking in the broad daylight" in "Mama Loi, Papa Loi"; devising a
simple, fairly singable soul melody for "You Don't Know What's
Going On," his most famous song due to its inclusion in the movie
Joe; and setting "The Vision" to an appealing, if again quite
simple, folk melody. Exuma's rough, unschooled vocals cut off any
prospect of mainstream accessibility, but they get the job done in
getting both his uplifting and ominous spirituality over. It's a
little surprising that this stuff hasn't undergone a sizable cult
revival; many artists of lesser talent and idiosyncrasy have, and
perhaps the 2003 CD reissue on Repertoire, with reasonably informed
liner notes, will aid in its rediscovery. ~ Richie Unterberger
