Could LTC be Record of the Year?

I have worked in broadcasting, both radio and tv, for 14 years. Just listening to LTC for the first time in full today, I think it has a very good chance in being the country music Record of the Year.
There are at least 6 songs that can easily be in the top 10, with 3 to 4 #1's. "Hey Good Lookin'" and "Piece of Work" will be number one. He wanted mainstream, I think he has got it.

That's the kind of success I've been talking about - I think it would be awesome! I'm no insider but I think it's got a shot - I guess only time will tell.

I'm a parrothead, I think all of the Buffett cds should be Album of the Year (but I'll readily admit that I'm biased!).

if Jimmy does good marketing it's deffinately got a shot, i'd say a better shot for the 2005 ACMs than the 2004 CMAs

I couldn't agree more

How soon will we know (1) how many copies it's sold and (2) how that compares to other new releases this year? Having set the all-time record for presales on Amazon and with so many of us buying multiple copies, I suspect it's doing extremely well.

Well I guess he has a shot since he's basically done what Nashville has always wanted in that the music itself is pretty mainstream. I'm not sure how I feel about him having so many current "Nashville" country stars to boost the music. I think this Cd is ok, but not really Buffett type music. There really isn't as much a difference between Buffett & the Kenny Chesney's of the world on this CD. Not to say that's neccessarily bad, but I just don't like mainstream Nashville as much as classic Buffett.

I don't like mainstream and I didn't think Jimmy did either. People who go mainstream tend to 'loose their way'.

It's got my vote! I really think LTC will be a #1, it's better than 5:00 in my opinion!

After listening to the cd for 4 days now , I could barely listen to it the first day without getting p*** or depressed but that had to do with the disaster in Indy, but thats a whole other thread.
but now that has passed and I think it will have at least a shot

Country music Record of the Year? Somehow I doubt it...
My Record of the Year? Absolutely!

That really sucks. I was quite lucky that a club member took care of me and kept me away from my family again this year (My s-i-l's not much fun). And you didn't get a thunderstorm, either.
