I appreciate her but would like to hear Deborah McColl again...

Nadirah is a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice!

And my wife thought I was paying attention to Heather...

Jimmy Buffett
Fingers Taylor
Mac McAnally
Robert Greenage
Ralph McDonald
Jim Mayer
Peter Mayer
Michael Utley
Roger Guth
Doyle Grisham

Notice how I completely eliminated the horn section. After listening to "You Had to be There" and "Feeding Frenzy," I decided that this is the band that should be playing Jimmy Buffett music. I apologize if I mispelled any names, but afterall it is midnight right now, and you know what I`m not famous yet. I am anxious to hear everyone elses version of the band that they would like to see.

PS Your band must consist of current or previous members of the CRB. I don't want this to get out of hand by including great musicians from other bands and Sonny Landreth and Bill Payne don't count.

It would almost seem impossible to put a band together of former Coral Reefers adhering to this. Most have been associated with other bands prior to and/or after being Coral Reefers.

In my opinion she's the best singer that Jimmy's ever had with him.
Also very beautiful and has that "island" look to me, especially when she had the dreads.

Better than Sheryl Crow?

I'm glad to see the appreciation for Nadirah isn't just with me, but with others as well. I feel it is difficult to possibly narrow down the CRB of old and compare them with that of modern day. As JB himself said in the concert recordings on "You Had to Be There"..."This is the band that should be doing Jimmy Buffett Songs!!!" I wonder if Jimmy still feels that was the best CRB to date?? But nonetheless, I will try to narrow down all those corral reefers into my "roster":

1. -- Jimmy Buffett -- Vocals, Guitar

...and thats it. I like "The Original Coral Reefer Band" better than anyone. Its consistent with my dream of Jimmy just walking into a bar, grabbing a stool, ordering a Corona, and jammin' out while I sit in amazement.
