Donovan Frankenreiter is a new artist i think quite a few parrot heads will enjoy so check'em out if you get a chance. he's kinda got the surf thing going on and doesnt really have the lyrical presence that jimmy or jack johnson has, but it's still great for a little roadtrip soundtrack.

I was suprised to find the album at Best Buy. I dig the album. It is very mellow. Definitely can tell the JJ influences. I like the duets with JJ and G-Love. It's worth checking out if you are thinking about it.

What a coincidence. I accidentally came across this guy yesterday.
I heard Jimmy singing a song on RadioMargaritaville that I'd never heard before, that I found kinda funny. I Googled some lyrics and came up with "Trouble on the Horizon" which set me on my afternoon treasure hunt. Screw work! I'm hunting!
Anyway, the Buffett song is from 1 of 3 "Music for our Mother Ocean" CD's that were done back in the late 1990's. On the 1st CD is a duet by Gary Hoey (one of my faves) and Donovan Frankenreiter.
Anyway, you can check out all 3 CD's at:
http://www.surfdog.com/mom.html. However, it doesn't look like any of the CD's are still available retail. Amazon.com had a bunch of new/used that you can buy from other people.
