Try just a few songs at first, ease into the rest....

Coastal Confessions, Window on the World, Coast of Carolina, Boats to Build, Back to the Island. Those are all great songs, very much the Jimmy you've come to know and love...not the Jimmy with a little extra country. Listen to those a few times, then ease into the rest of the CD.

Personally BHOTM still never has really grown on me as a whole album.
However with LTC my expectations were exceeded bigtime.
16 songs and the only ones I don't love are "Someone I used to Love" and "Playin' the loser again" 14 out of 16 aint too bad!
It's being labeled country but in fact it's much more tropical than anything he's done in the last few years.

I actually liked BHOTH more at first than I do now...it wore on me. I'm really liking most of LTC. It IS country-influenced, but not country, at least not most of it.

Even Conchy-Tonkin'?

Thanks for the pointers. I'll give it another shot. Or have another shot. What the hell, I'll do both.

Ok... here is how you do it...

each time you cringe at a lyric as being "too country", take a shot
in the morning, when your head is the size of a hot-air balloon and throbbing like Mr. Guth's drum... crank up the volume.

Think, "If only I had liked that line last night, this wouldn't hurt so bad".

Negative reinforcement.. modifying behaviour for eons.
