Destination Moon present a reissue of Robert Mitchum's Calypso - Is Like So, originally released in 1957. When Harry Belfonte's Calypso became the first LP to sell over a million copies, it stimulated an unprecedented calypso craze stateside, with myriad musical and cultural repercussions. Of all the calypso oddities to appear in it's wake, Robert Mitchum's Calypso - Is Like So is certainly the most curious, as well as the most enduring. On this debut LP as a singer, actor Mitchum tackles Sparrow's "Jean And Dinah", King Radio's "Not Me", Wilmouth Houdini's "Coconut Water", and other Trinidadian anthems with considerable aplomb, infusing his delivery with a faux Caribbean lilt that flatters, rather than mocks; a few Don Rae adaptations broaden the palette of this most peculiarly appealing picture.
