If there was ever a celebrity whose reputation as one of Hollywood's hippest cats was solid enough that they could risk ridicule by adopting a faux-Trinidadian accent for a novelty record, it was Robert Mitchum. The result is CALYPSO IS LIKE SOà, a collection of 12 Trinidadian tunes, some already made famous by Harry Belafonte, as well as some less well-known songs brought to the studio by Mitchum. Also included on the reissue of CALYPSO IS LIKE SOà are "The Ballad of Thunder Road," the theme from the Mitchum flick, and its B-side, "My Honey's Lovin' Arms."

Mitchum retains a dignified cool throughout the album, despite the kitsch subject matter of songs such as "Mama, Looka Boo-Boo," and "I Learn a Merengue, Mama." The album is equal parts Beat and Belafonte. In true Mitchum style, there is also a fair amount of risque material here, and this raunchy edge is perhaps what gives CALYPSO IS LIKE SOà its staying power.

Includes liner notes by Nick Tosches.

Personnel: Robert Mitchum (vocals).

Liner Note Author: Nick Tosches .Entertainment Weekly (11/3/95, p.66) - "...this long out-of-print 1957 gem is a must-have for any swinging bachelor or bachelorette." - Rating: A
Melody Maker (8/19/95, p.32) - "...CALYPSO-IS LIKE SO may finish with two slabs of pretty standard film-star-turned-crooner fare...but mavericks like Mitchum were used to having inappropriately comforting endings tacked onto their best work. The genuine calypso stuff is startlingly good..."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Very catchy calypso
What a fun CD this is! And some of the songs are very catchy. Jean and Dinah for one is great and forever stuck in my mind. I was amazed when I heard that this was Robert Mitchum singing this CD. You'd never know. Another song that seems very campy now but still is a real toe tapper is What is This Generation Coming to? Funny lyrics and such a tune. And maybe best of all is Matilda, Matilda.....I'm humming that one night and day weeks later. I do wish Mama Looka Boo Boo hadn't been on it as that one drives me mad! Otherwise it's a great CD from a surprising source.<br>
