专辑简介
Fueled by his experiences in post-war Port of Spain, Mighty Sparrow’s First Flight reflects a world of bravado and high rhetoric where violence of tongue and hand, the cut and thrust of word and razor, were reduced to a finely-honed skill. Sparrow’s calypsos, spun with an invincible exuberance, intertwine spiritual and social concerns resulting in unflinching social commentary. Incendiary and often scandalous, First Flight shatters popularly held perceptions of calypso as merely "party" music. 20-page booklet with extensive liner notes and photos, 18 tracks, and 76 minutes of music!
