Rounder Records has reissued Crucian Scratch Band Music by Blinky & the Roadmasters. The reissue is part of Rounder’s back catalog world music albums released into full digital distribution.

From the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Blinky and the Roadmasters play a fascinating style of Caribbean dance music that fuses calypso, African-derived rhythms, Hawaiian ukulele, and a two-saxophone front line that might be otherwise heard in a Texas polka band. The word play in the English-language songs and the happy spirit of the music make for an appealing listening experience.
