Review
Edwin Ayoung, better known as Crazy, is a unique combination of serious calypsonian, smut-meister, and party animal — with stage presence he hasn’t even used yet. It’s hard to believe that this irresistible anthology is the first best-of collection from the Lovable Lunatic after 30 years as a star calypsonian. The playlist ranges from long-time favourites like Soca Tarzan to smuts like Paul and For Curiosity, and fete favourites like Jump Up and Wail, This Is How and De Party Now Start, one of the greatest party jump-up performances ever recorded. I have only one complaint: this CD clearly needs to be a double CD, since it doesn’t include essential tunes like Symphony In C, Suck Meh Soucouyant, Drive It, Nani Wine, nor any of Crazy’s “serious” calypsos like In Time to Come. But hey, while we wait for Volume 2, we can still start jumping to Volume 1. De party now start! (MG/Caribbean Beat)
