Maybe every two or three years , this way he may have two or three decent songs to put on the album.

I have to disagree. Despite the mediocre sound quality on the Amazon clips, I think that musically this is among Jimmy's best.Bora Bora wrote:OK folks let's all put the kool aid down . Once again Jimmy has thrown out another extremely crappy album

Not exactly. Bora Bora is right except for the album every year comment. You people are so looking forward to anything buffett puts out, it could even be crap and you would like it. I would have loved to be here when DSTC came out, but again, you love everything he puts out. I'm just a skeptical fan that does nto like mediocrity, and buffett has been doing a lot of that lately. With the guests that he has on this album it should blow people away, instead its the exactly opposite.
With these country albums, always remember this jimmy: You can't polish a turd. And its unfortuate that this album sucks just as bad as LTC.
Country music doesn't work for you buffett, you don't need to sell albums ( I know all the 'necks on here will say something about how LTC was Buffett's best selling album, true...but how many rednecks bought the album b/c of Chesney, Black, Williams, and Keith?) and alienate your fanbase at the same time. But I should stop, b/c this is the same fan base that would buy $hit if it had a Margaritaville logo, and/or a reference to a Buffett song. I'm just bummed out b/c the last good album was Far Side of The World, and that even had some covers...but I won't go there with that....
Pablo, charming isn't exactly your forte.... 
It sounds to me like Jimmy had a great time making this album, looking for great songs by other people. And I can't see what is wrong with that.SchoolGirlHeart wrote:I have to disagree.

This is so reminiscent of past conversations about ditching the slide guitar....which, IMHO is a poor idea, because it really adds to a number of JB's songs.....Pablo Escobar wrote:RinglingRingling wrote:Pablo, creating a second screen name just to try getting a "popular groundswell" of negative press for the album?Bora Bora wrote:OK folks let's all put the kool aid down .

Disagreement, although perhaps not popular on this site, is okay...but your whining, poor taste and insults aren't necessary.
Unlike LTC, Jimmy's never said TTWWY is a Country album...it's been placed in that category for marketing purposes (distribution agreement with RCA Nashville).

In any case, a lot of older JB songs have a decidedly country sound to them - it's not out of his realm at all, nor anything new, but Jimmy has always added his own sound that makes him difficult to pigeon-hole into one particular genre for all of his songs.
I actually don't own much with the M'ville logo on it, nor would I buy something 'just because' it was put out by Jimmy, M'ville or Mailboat. I listen to or look at what is put out, then decide for myself whether I want it or not.
In this case, THWWY will definitely be in my cd library.
