Content



The song is named for the village of Tucker's Town, Bermuda, the mostly black, working-class residents of which (including the future members of The Talbot Brothers band) were compelled to sell their land in the 1920s to make way for a hotel and golf club, and an enclave where foreign millionaires and billionaires are permitted to own homes (Bermuda, on the same latitude as South Carolina, though the nearest landfall is Cape Hatteras in North Carolina, and from which Carolina Colony was colonised under William Sayle in 1670, was a frequent haunt of the South Carolinian band).
