Here's a pressing that showcases Harry Belafonte well beyond his calypso fame – this 1960 RCA Victor release finds the King of Calypso diving deep into the blues repertoire with surprising authenticity and vocal power. While most folks know Belafonte for "Day-O" and his Caribbean material, this album reveals his serious jazz chops and his ability to inhabit the emotional landscape of classic blues standards. Working with arrangements that lean more toward intimate jazz trio settings than his typical orchestral productions, Belafonte tackles songs like "Cotton Fields," "Losing Hand," and "A Fool for You" with a gravelly intensity that might surprise listeners familiar only with his more commercial work.
