Calypsos Down Jamaica Way is the significant piece to discover how Jamaican music, which was created by the fusion of the Jamaican indigenous Mento and popular Calypso. The album starts off with moody instrumental tune, 'Good Bye to Rome' that is perfectly harmonized by excellent performances of Sugar Belly's bamboo sax, Charlie Organaire's harmonica and banjo. Followingly, flute brows freely to pure Mento beat 'Go Fife Go'. Love song 'Yours' follows and Count Owen sings smoothly 'Lawd Some Men Could A Smart' to close the A-side.

The flip side of the album, Owen delivers the finest vocal with his specialty, cha-cha and Mento fusion in 'Careless Hands'. Other songs include 'Weed', 'Melody D'Amour' song being added a bit of European seasoning, 'Kingston Town' describes Kingston's moody atmosphere, Calypso style roots chanting 'Out The Fire', and a pure traditional Mento vocal on 'The Last Watch'.
