Best of luck to you, I just ordered three KD Moore albums and just purchased the "Hoot" soundtrack. I will keep you in mind next time I go go on a spending spree.

SOB, Thanks mon I appreciate the order! It's going to be tons of hard work to break into the Trop Rock world that's pretty much run by other great artist like Sunny Jim, Jim Morris, Eric Stone, but I am going to enjoy the run bruddah!

I have been lucky enough to hear the final mix of the new CD and it sounds great. The song lyrics and music reminds me of the old Buffett stuff. This Cd would be a great addition to anyone's beach music collection!! Good work James!!!

Hey Jake!
Got the cd this morning and I am liking it a lot!
I'll post more later, I'm out the door to the beach for further review

Better run down and see if I've got mail!

Looking forward to hearing the CD.

"I'm a little conched; I like it that way." Of course that's my fav.

Always love hearing a good waltz like Conched (and Nautical Wheelers.)

Super lyrics! If you do this one live, I'll bet it's fun to watch the dancers.

Giving the CD it's second spin after I added it to the ipod. Enjoyed it all. You have put some very good lines in the songs.

The Gonzo Gypsy is a good one. I guess you realized Jerry Jeff didn't write most of the songs you mentioned in the song lyrics?

Where is Parrot Bay? Anywhere you want it to be?!! I heard that bubble bubble bubble bubble

Great piano... This song reminds me a bit of Pour Me A Vacation by The Great Divide.

More later as I listen.

Life is good at Calypso!
I sat in that same spot before.

Got mine in the mail yesterday but I didn't get home from work until almost 9:00 so I didn't listen to it last night. I just popped it in the CD player in the office.

sonofabeach · Post by **sonofabeach** » May 23, 2006 12:19 pm

Got it in my MP3 player too.

Current Conditions is one of my faves. Nice song idea there.

Grouper and Beer is great and has the Pencil Thinesque swing to it.
Also makes me hungry. Yeah....I know....imagine that

Life on The Gulf makes me want to finally visit that part of the state.
Also inspires me to write about my favorite place, St Auggie.

Parrot Bay is a real nice tropical anthem. Ya gotta have one of those.

The Gonzo Gypsie really does sound like a Jerry Jeff song.

Also noticed three "kiss my ass" references..........hey everybody has their fetishes

Great cd mon!!!

I noticed all the raw oyster references. Made me want to cough up some phlegm.

Enjoy all of the songs, but my favorites:

Life On The Gulf
Conched
Raw
Grouper and Beer
Current Conditions

I hope Don will bring it home so I can listen to it

LIPH · Post by **LIPH** » May 23, 2006 4:13 pm

BTW, I like it. The CD, not the raw oysters.
