Free Music Notes for Don't Stop The Carnival [ENHANCED CD]Free Music Review: Jimmy continues to move in the right direction Hit: 4 Stars
The fun continues with this latest release. Jimmy continues to integrate the Caribean sound that is a vital part of his life. The songs are fun and take us parrotheads away from our dull existance to life in a tropical paradise.
Free Music Review: ....and it's "enhanced". Hit: 4 Stars
Haven't seen any mention that this CD is "enhanced" which means that you can also play it on your computer and get about a 10 minute audio/video of behind the scenes activity at rehearsals for the show!
Free Music Review: I like most of this CD Hit: 3 Stars
This CD has some of my favorite songs (Legend of Norman Paperman, Island Fever, Public Relations, and Time to Go Home). I do skip over some of the stupid tracks (like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen) - that one had to be just a space filler. It's fun to listen to at work - a lot of different types of songs and voices. Some days I listen to it 2 or 3 times in a row before I switch CDs. My three year old daughter learned the chorus to Norman Paperman during a long car ride. I'm still trying to convince her (she's 4 now) that the guy singing on the other 25 CDs is really named Jimmy Buffett and NOT Norman Paperman.
Free Music Review: I would like to see this on the stage Hit: 3 Stars
I'm not a Parrothead and have often found Buffett's music to be repetitive and trapped in the Island sound, but he puts that sound to good use here in this adaptation of Wouk's book. Lively songs carry the story well and the occasional bad lyric ("I never acted like some nervous rookie/right from the start I was hot as a cookie" Huh?)is forgiven in this easy going look at the difficulties of adjusting to the island way of doing business. The stage version of this must have been fun as these songs lend themselves to an interesting evening of song and dance. Maybe someday.
Free Music Review: A Great Treat For Buffett Fans Hit: 3 Stars
If you are a Buffett fan you will adore this CD! If not, I would suggest starting with one of his earlier CD's. As a lifelong fan I truly enjoyed the "island rock" and "reggea" flavors of this piece! I for one can't wait to see "Don't Stop the Carnival"!
