Free Music Review: so-so condensed version of the concert
Hit: 3 Stars
this cd is an obvious condensed version, good input ftom Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffet, other than that, not overly impressiveFree Music Review: Fun, but seems like you had to be there

Good music. I'm not a big Strait fan, but it was unique with all three.Free Music Review: Could be better
Hit: 2 Stars
This is a fair cd. The cd kicks off with Honk If Your Honky Tonk. I had to laugh at what George said before singing Murder on music row that it caused some controversy but he didn't' care. This is the same song he said he recorded as a joke. Strait's vocals are as good as ever and so is his band.
He does smoke on Milk Cow Blues and the parts where he sings on All My Ex's but I could have done without Buffets parts on that song . I don't want to even start on what the 3 of them do on Hey Good Lookin. that rumbling is Hank Spinning in is grave.
Alan was Alan on his songs and strong as always. He covers the Hank Jr song "Texas Women" and The Eagles "Seven Bridges Road" in a bluegrass ver. He also did "Five O'clock Somewhere" "Designated Drinker" and closes with "Where I come From"
The duets with buffet fall flat their voices don't blend well.
Free Music Review: Total Disappointment
Hit: 1 Stars
I was really looking forward to this album after hearing all the hype about it on Radio Margaritaville. I ran out to buy it the first day it was available and have tried hard to like it ever since. I must say that I feel it was a complete waste of my money. I think the old saw about trying to be a "jack of all trades but master of none" is fitting here.
Many people are fans of pure "country music". I am not. The hype leading up to the release didn't say who was singing what. I was under the impression that all three artists were performing all the songs on the album. I liked the collaboration that Jimmy and Alan did on 5 O'clock and enjoyed the License to Chill CD release and expected this release to be similar. It certainly was not. I think I enjoyed License to Chill because Jimmy had a few new gems of his own sprinkled in. Nothing new here however.
I'm a Buffett fan so I've heard all the songs he performed 50 jillion times already and as I've said I'm not a fan of country music so the entire album was weak to me. I have read reviews elsewhere from a country music perspective that thought Buffett weakened the album so ironically the intent to appeal to a cross genre crowd failed to gain support of any kind.
Milk Cow Blues was Ok but is actually a cover of a song by the legendary Delta Blues artist Robert Johnson so what was it doing on an album that laments the "Murder (of country music) on Music Row"? I liked the arrangement of Seven Bridges Road but the statement by Alan Jackson that this is a "new, blue grass arrangement of the song" is not true. Listen to the Carribean Cowboys version of the song done many years prior to this concert and you will agree. It's sad, it seems that Jimmy has made all the money he needs and has become content to regurgitate the same songs over and over and expect his parrot head fans to cough up the money on any new releases he puts out. Let's get our heads out of our collective margaritas and refuse to buy the same old remixed stuff. It is clear that playing with Alan and George in Texas has been Jimmy's dream for a long time and he states so in the recording. It's sad really. This whole event is akin to "litte Jimmy goes to space camp". I could care less and I don't think that most of us do either.
