Caribbean Folk - Featured Artist: Saba's own David Mac-Clean Johnson
Caribbean Island Country Songs - David Mac-Clean Johnson
Released: February 2005

A cherished tribute to the island on which David Johnson has spent a lifetime raising his family, and vigorously participating in the magic of its community.

This lifelong compilation of his favorite folk songs is David's gift to Saba and everyone who loves this tiny island. In the classic Caribbean folk tradition his songs speak of the unspoiled beauty and the occasional hardships. But, never far from the surface, you hear David sing of the resilient people he's grown up with and who wouldn't move from this paradise for all the pearls in the sea. At the same time, this is his invitation to each and every one of us to visit Saba.

Many Thanks ...

Many thanks go out to all those who helped me with this CD. First, I would like to thank God for giving me the courage to take this adventure. I would also like to thank my wife Phyllis for her love and understanding for the time spent putting the songs together. And, thank you to my friend Brenda, grand daughter Esmeralda and my son Jeff for their contributions to the songs. I would also like to thank the Saba Foundation for Culture and Art, Juegdfonds, FAJ, NGO and AMFO for their financial assistance. And, many thanks to Thaddeus Nicholson for all his hard work. Thanks also to ICS and Melody Recording Studio for their graphics. It is my hope that the songs on my album will touch your heart and mind as you listen. Peace.
