Caroline Jones on Come Monday

Post by 65pacecar »

Listening to the broadcast of the Mn. show the other night on Margaritaville and she butchers Come Monday IMHO. The song is too good to let that happen to it.

Others may disagree, but I don't care for her voice, especially on this song.

Having her as an opening act is cool, and maybe 1 song to join the band is fine, but beyond that I think it's a bit much. I'd rather Jimmy make more of a time allotment for solo acoustic encores.

I think she kills it on Coast of marasilles especially on harmonica.

Positive vibes for fingers taylor! Hope he is well.

Can't wait for Camden on Thursday! My 50th show and my birthday is three days later! Fins up!

I haven't heard her on harmonica, but sorry, don't care for her vocals.
Fingers will NEVER be 'well' once diagnosed with Alzheimers.
Enjoy your next concert.

I met Caroline at a meet & greet at the Orlando show and she seems like a really nice person but I don't care for her music. Her father is a billionaire hedge funder so maybe by having her on the tour Jimmy is just doing a favor for one of his 1%er buddies.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

Yeah. Makes me really sad about Fingers. I heard about him years ago when that came out. I actually saw something on BW forum that his brother was posting asking for money to help him out years ago.

She’s alright as a female voice on Trip Around the Sun, and she’s a fine opening act; however, I’d have to agree that it’s not a good fit for Come Monday. It also deprives Jimmy of the chance to do the whole “It’s so nice to be in <location> again!” bit, and I like the local shoutouts.

On an unrelated note, I hate how Jimmy has gone all in on the super lazy climax to Volcano ... literally EVERY show, it’s “I’ll take <location> on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday!” We get it, you love telling us what day your concert is on, Jimmy. :) We used to get more unique ones like:

“I’d rather land where I can see” leading to “Cincinnati’s fine with me!”
“Big high damn” leading to “put me down where this all began!”
“Buzzard’s Bay” leading to “put me down in Atlanta G-A!”

Dumb thing to get worked up about, sure, but he’s a creative guy and the current formula is stale.

Saw last night's show in Camden and thought she was really good as an opening act and on "Trip Around the Sun," but it felt odd to bring her out three different times during Buffett's set. If she's going to guest, bring her out for 1-2 songs back-to-back.

The benefit show in Florida had the vibe killed by bringing out one singer, playing a song then another singer then back to the first singer.

I just wish Jimmy would go all in with a two or three day margaritaville festival.....he plays everyday but headlines just once...then the other days could be Chesney, brown, or some other friend/fan headlining that night. So many Jimmy proteges now just get it done.

She is beautiful. But I do agree that, instead of bringing her out 2-3 times during the show, just do 2-3 songs back to back. Problem solved.
