Im happy to see Toby Kieth on it...i think they will sound good together...different but good.

If you put tobys new cd in the computer he talks about recording it at shrimp boat sound so thats pretty cool.

I think it's gonna be neat! Whatever Jimmy wants to do is fine, he won't get any second guessing from this parrothead.

So what do ya'll think the album cover will look like...i really hope its not a cheesy photo of jimmy in a cowboy hat.

Something like a cartoon of a parrot or lizard lounging in a beach chair with a cowboy hat on would be cool.

when i first heard that zachary richard was going to be on the album, i was excited because i figured it would be zydeco-country style. but now i dunno if this is gonna be a honky tonk/tear-in-my-beer thing. damn i hate oranges.

I see Riddles in the Sand...I guess I didn't do something right.

Maybe it is cached into my temp files since I have been there so it shows up for me???

Thanks for telling me.

I'm excited....I love all the names mentioned in this thread on the album. I love Jimmy's early stuff, I just hope this country-fied album doesn't make tickets for his Nashville show harder to get. Common sense says it will. Dadgum it. Maybe me and my 17 cohorts will descend upon Cincinnati this year.

I don't know. If it is that good its kinda sad to think that it was done without the majority of the Reefer Band and the fact that it is going to be heavily laced with covers and guest artists.i don't know about you guys, but this could have a profound effect on the future in the negative sense!Just a thought.I hope i'm wrong and this only a one off deal.

I've had my fill of covers and guest artists... I guess Jimmy's earlier stuff (CILCIA, OPH, Floridays etc..) has spoiled me

Brown Eyes wrote:I had a meeting yesterday where someone told me that Mac was working with Jimmy right now on the album. Here's some stuff on him from his bio:

Making his own albums aside, Mac is also notable as a producer of artists ranging from Jimmy Buffett to Ricky Skaggs to Sawyer Brown. Furthermore, his guitar work and harmony vocals can be heard on albums by such luminaries as Lyle Lovett, Trisha Yearwood, Keith Whitley, Nanci Griffith, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, George Jones, Reba McEntire, Hank Williams Jr. and Patty Loveless, among others.

As a songwriter, McAnally has provided hits for Buffett ("It's My Job"), Alabama ("Old Flame"), Shenandoah ("Two Dozen Roses"), Steve Wariner ("Precious Thing"), Sammy Kershaw ("Southbound"), Nanci Griffith ("Nickel Dreams") and Sawyer Brown (the Grammy-nominated "All These Years"). He is also a song publisher and arranger. Moreover, this Southern Renaissance man operates his own recording studio in Muscle Shoals, Ala.

To remain fresh as a live performer, McAnally alternates his solo shows with stints as a guest member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. Members of that crew can be heard on Word of Mouth's "The Ass and the Hole," "Things to Do Today" and "Pop Top Hop."

Mac also wrote the Chesney hit, "Back where I come from." It's a great song.
