The Jolly Boys - 'Perfect Day'
The Jolly Boys have one of the most intriguing backgrounds in music history. Back in the 1940s Hollywood actor Errol Flynn staged a series of infamous parties on his self-owned Navy Island, just a few hundred yards from the coast of Port Antonio in Jamaica. A group of local musicians provided the musical entertainment, playing a style known as ‘mento’, considered to be the prerequisite of reggae and ska. Legend has it that Flynn coined the name "The Jolly Boys."
They were ignored for decades, until British producer Jon Baker stepped in and introduced them to a new audience with Great Expectation (2010), a covers album which provides a contemporary mento flavour to classic songs from New Order, Blondie and The Stranglers, to name but a few.
Lou Reed’s 'Perfect Day' has also been given the Jolly Boys treatment,and overall it is successful. By giving the sombre original a jauntier Jamaican feel, you feel like you’ve been transported from the gritty streets of New York to the sunny coast of Port Antonio. It could be construed as a bit gimmicky, but you’ve got to hand it to the Jolly Boys, who, after sixty years, sound like they’re still having fun with music.
