Allan's Cay, Exuma, Bahamas: Located just 30 minutes from Nassau, horseshoe-shaped Allen Cay is the gateway to the Exumas. One of the northernmost islands in the Exumas chain, Allen Cay is home to beautiful anchorages and postcard-worthy beaches. But the real draw are the Allen’s Cay rock iguanas.

19: Exuma // Exuma II

Exuma II Exuma 1970, Mercury

Not aiming for trenchant analysis here. For anyone who loves themselves some demon wax, Exuma II is too good a time to dig up like that. Exuma the Obeah Man (born Macfarlane Mackey on Cat Island, Bahamas) was a genuine mystic, throwing his whole pussy into a persona wreathed in ritual smoke and crackling with spiritual lightning. His early songs clatter along like unruly processions, laden down with bells, congas, whistles, his musicians following the capering Obeah Man, who rambles and shrieks as he strums folksy melodies on his acoustic guitar.

There aren’t really songs like Exuma’s anywhere else, though some combination of Dr. John’s “I Walk on Guilded Splinters” and Screaming Jay Hawkins puts you within summoning distance. What to make of “Paul Simon Nontooth,” an account of a necromantic ritual gone awry set to harmonica and altar bells that would cause Paul Simon, were he ever exposed to it, to turn from mogwai to gremlin:

Get me blood, for I thirst And if you don't get me blood, I'll drink yours first See this cane? Come, come here Look at my cane, look at my head See this head? See this head? These are the markings of the dead If your souls have long been gone And you have nothing to trade tonight, I’ll pluck the life from you tonight Give me music! Give me music! Give me music!

King Diamond would be proud.

Ah, sweet kisses There is no soul From the young and from the old Remove your clothes Remove your earthly goods You're going with me to the fiery woods You can't sell what you don't own Hurry, hurry, come on, here comes the moon

Oh hell yes. Oh fuck yes.

While Exuma II lets more light in on Side 2 than its (even more madcap) self-titled predecessor ever does, the celebratory energy present on “African Rhythm” and “Zandoo” gives the record a healthy balance. Unlike a lot of artists whose work scans (from the western perspective anyway) as outsider-y, Mackey actually was appropriately venerated in his home nation as a musician, playwright, and painter. (Those are his mind-bending paintings on the covers of his albums.) Exuma II is the sound of an artist, and a raucous crew of collaborators, caught up in the ecstasy of his own powers. It’ll never cease to be a thrilling, idiosyncratic listen.
