Mighty Sparrow: Volume Two [Ice, 1993]
Daisann McLane, a/k/a Lady Complainer, believes the most impressive thing about Sparrow is that back-stabbing Trinidadians still consider him theirs. With his suave delivery, he's a superstar synthesizer like Frank Sinatra, moving confidently from the tourist-board "Pan Man" to the Brooklyn-minded "Calypso Boogaloo," the come-fly-with-me exotic "Oriental Touch" to the she'll-fly-to-mas sexy "Same Time, Same Place." But it's hard to imagine the Chairman daring the equivalent of "Sparrow Dead"--much less observing "These good citizens are the architects of economic slavery."
