Title: I've heard much better from the boys
Product review: Hi:First I am a big Buffett fan and have most of his CD's. I am disappointed with this new recording. It's too slow of a tempo in most songs with maybe a few good ones here and there. In fact, I think most of JB's work the last few years fits this pattern. Or, honestly, maybe it's just me. I prefer the uptempo songs that seem to reflect his earlier days. Songs like "The Weather is here, wish you were beautiful" , "Fins", or slow songs with meaning like "12 Volt Man" or "Pirate looks at 40". JB's latest efforts seem like they were recycled from bits and pieces of these old recordings (if you listen to "I will play for Gumbo" see if you hear the melody from "jolly Man" in there. I do. Granted there are a few worthy songs on this CD but nothing that will characterize it as a great cd. But in some odd way I'm happy I bought it. I guess that's why I am a parrothead. Even substandard songs can please us. Thanks,Francis
