The Real Bahamas, Vol. 1-2 combines the entirety of the two original albums on one compact disc. These records document the traditional songs from the Bahamas, as performed by guitarist/vocalist Joseph Spence, Frederick McQueen, Shelton Swain and Tweedie Gibson, among several others. These two records were responsible for introducing Bahamian folk to many people in the Western world -- the Grateful Dead covered "I Bid You Goodnight" shortly after hearing this record -- and they retain their power and importance several decades after release. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
