The you'll have to wait for the Academy of Western Music awards...
They're being broadcast on the Western Music Television cable channel.

Has "Five O'Clock Somewhere" been released as a studio track on any
Buffett CD yet? Maybe I missed something... I know it's an AJ song and
all, but you'd think it'd be around Bubba-land officially somewhere.

I'll obviously get the album, and I might even love it, but I am a little worried. I'm just not a country fan.

It's on the Conchy Tonk CD that came out late last year...

Does that mean you've never liked any of the country influenced stuff he's done before which makes up a great deal of his recorded output over the years? By the way, I'm not pickin', just askin'. It seems the "Buffett has gone country" thing is a popular complaint these days and it strikes me as odd because it's always been a key part of his sound, at least to my ears.

Not particularly. I'm usually on my lunchbreak from work when I pick up new records so that leaves little time for listening so it's generally on my way home in evenings that new albums get their first spin. In the old days of vinyl when you had to wait 'til you got home (unless you had a record player in your vehicle) to listen things were a bit different. Then, I'd be able relax with the liner notes like you mentioned but I don't think I've ever waited a matter of days before listening to a new album. The one time in recent memory that I did put off listening was when Bob Dylan's Love and Theft album was released on September 11, 2001. Given the events of that day I really had no desire to listen to music for several days. When I was ready, Love and Theft was the perfect album to break the silence.

I LOVE THAT ALBUM!!! I heard he's playing the whole album from beginning to end at the Great Woods show this year!

Countyr music today is not at all what it use to be. I listen to the local counrty station here and most of the music sounds more like Pop then country. I also think it is closer to Jimmy's music then anything else you'll find out there.

I'm skipping Great Woods this year.
I much prefer the big stadium shows, particularly the ones with lousy acoustics and without any tailgating!!!

I'll be home spanking MY monkey instead!!!

I'm not really looking for any music that sounds like Jimmy's but I do have to agree with the pop country thing. When it comes to that I've found there always other choices. Back in the 70s I liked a lot of the "outlaw" stuff that was deemed too noncommercial for the radio. These days things aren't that much different and the outlaw movement lives on in the form of "alt.country" artists such Whiskeytown, Slobberbone, the Old 97s, the $2 Pistols, Thad Cockrell, Wilco, Caitlin Cary, the Bottle Rockets, Jay Farrar, Drive-By Truckers, Gillian Welch, Tift Merritt, and tons of other bands. If you're looking for some good music these days you have to look other places besides the radio and music television.

Mailboat told me they'd be shipping my copy in "about two weeks."



I'm holding my breath out here in Cowtown.

I wholeheartedly agree, give me any and all of the above artists (and that list is only the tip of the iceberg, believe me) over the majority of today's "country" stars.

It's just sarcasm gone a bit too far. Conchy Tonk didn't happen, License to Chill is due July 13th.

Boy, I haven't heard of any of those guys. I must really be out of the loop, or just really mainstream.
