For those who have already purchased and received their copy of the new Robert Greenidge Cd could you please enter a review on the Album review page? Would appreciate it greatly!

This isn't the album review area, but I think that is usually for JB albums.
So, I'm putting my review here.

I don't think I've ever met a Coral Reefer/Club Trini CD that I didn't like. And Robert's is no exception. Robert either wrote and co-wrote 6 of the 12 songs on From the Heart and the CD was produced and arranged by Robert and Ralph MacDonald.

The songs are what I expected from a collaboration from Robert and Ralph. Of course, Robert shines on the pans. And Nadirah's voice is as beautiful as ever on Love Me Up in the Morning, Just the Two of Us and Kiss Kiss Kiss.

I have to comment on Stardust. This is a song my parents listened to when they were younger and I grew up on this type of music as a child. Hoagie Carmichael would be proud of the arrangement that was done on this song. The pans really fit in this song. For you youngsters out there, listen to this song.....it is amazing.

There are 3 other songs on this CD that you might have heard—Just the Two of Us (sung by Nadirah), My Heart (from Ralph’s new CD, but done as an instrumental) and Paradise Garden (from a Club Trini CD).
If you like Club Trini, I you can't go wrong in ordering this CD.

And check out the CD insert....our BNer/KLCer, Lee did it!!!

I agree with SP, it's a great CD!! I love Robert on those pans!! Amazing!! Several very talented musicians were involved on this CD and they all come together to create a great island sound. Very nice to listen to when it's freezing cold outside. Puts me in a tropical mood!

Okay Springparrot, I'm good with Club Trini so my order has been placed. Hopefully I won't have to come down there to Texas and Mess with you !!

I bought the CD based on two person's recommendation here saying it was a lot like Club Trini and very "parrothead friendly". I found it to be very good and it made me wish that Club Trini would actually do another album.

I Think the cd is fantastic. I am a new pannist myself and can't stop listening to it. Also after a few weeks after my cd arrived i received a poster from Robert signed.

Did anyone else get a signed poster from Robert today???
I did and it was a great surprise!
I knew Ralph was sending them with his new CD, but wasn't aware about Robert's!

Thanks Robert!!!

oooh, i'll have to listen to this cd!

Also received the signed poster in the mail. Cool they'd send out such an item months after sending out the CD but I'm not a collector of such items so if anyone wants I'd be glad to ship the poster out to you (if I can scrape up the $1.50 for the postage)

Shoot me a pm if you're interested.

I got mine but unfortunately it was torn as someone either stuffed it in the tube or by the wonderful USPS
