A companion volume to "Calypso at Midnight", featuring a transcription of a radio performance from 1946. While some of Alan Lomax's recordings function best as museum pieces, these performances are great fun. Lord Invader, Duke of Iron and Macbeth are on hand with their orchestras. Alan Lomax serves as MC.

This calypso concert, sponsored by People's Songs and hosted by Alan Lomax, was performed in December 1946 at New York's Town Hall during the post-World War II calypso boom in the United States. Three of the greatest New York-based calypsonians, Lord Invader, the Duke of Iron and Macbeth the Great, are accompanied by Gerald Clark & his Invaders, performing a mix of well-known and, especially in Invader's case, original material. These CDs are a sentimental journey back to an historic performance of early calypso in the U.S. and back to the era when progressive politics and folk music were joined.
