After that, it depends on my mood. WITW is next, most days. But Hula Girl At Heart and Nothin' But A Breeze are always right in there.... And Everbody's On The Phone is, too....

There's not a song I DON'T like on this album....
I'd like Hula Girl At Heart a lot better if it was in the setlist and Heather was still in the band.

this whole Hula Girl and Heather thing is a new idea, right?

yep. it looks almost like the picture above, but the particular one you're hearing has mother-of-pearl in place of the white plastic. I have a picture at home I can post or send you later.

Believe it or not I haven't got the cd yet but I'm getting it today. I really like Bama Breeze and hope the rest of the cd is at least close to it.

Bama Breeze actually comes off weaker than some of the tracks, although it is a good solid song.

Finally some else said it ...My biggest peeve about some of his songs...

I've ALWAYS thought it would be a good idea to drop Piece of Work from the set list

it depends on the song.... it seems to 'fit' on this song, and I hardly even noticed he was talking vs singing until someone pointed it out..... I guess because I was concentrating on (as someone else put it) the incredible layering of the music.

I agree the beginning starts out like a Joe Jackson song who I don't like.
But you like what you like. Enjoy!

Jimmy called it "long and wierd"....

The pulsing banjo, dancing trumpet, Nadira's shimmering vocals, Sonny's swampy guitar, the double bass, piano, laid back verses and driving chorus.... You can feel the mystical voodoo in the sultry, steamy air, thick with those eternally restless souls...it's the echo of Mardi Gras.

Wheel Inside the Wheel...just WOW!!

Krewe of crossbones....? Hmmmm......

Wow and I actually liked you when I met you at MOTM last year.

HA HA that had me rolling! WITW isn't even a song, it's more like a bad poetry reading or like William Shatners album, maybe if he sang it, i dunno.

Anyhow I thought the Pina Colada Song was jimmy's best?

You're hearing one of these on both songs. It's what sounds like a banjo:

a resonator?
Nice!!!!

And WITW & EPB are two of my favorites....btw!

They are totally my favorites!! Wheel took me back to New Orleans the second I heard it...

The talking on WITW does not bother me so much.
I really like the song now.
It's not the same kind of talking that's found on Fruitcakes, LTC or other songs. It's more serious than corny.
I need to brush up on my Nawlins history though because I don't know the people mentioned in it.

I really like 'Nothin" But Breeze" in it he talks about being a grampa and as our daughter is due in Jan , ( it"s a

)[smilie=coolup.gif] I can not help to believe that he is looking at being a grand parent one day soon

Well I got the cd. Bama Breeze is my favorite song on it. Breathe in is great too. After that I guess Everybody's on the Phone. Not too hepped up about the rest. But I didn't love Fruitcakes when it first came out so I'm sure some of these will grow on me.

I definitely like some songs on it more than others, but DEFINITELY "Wheel Inside the Wheel" is the one I keep going back to on a regular basis. Something about the lyrics is mystical, and the rhythm "gets" me "there" ya know? The lyric that really hooked me was the "souls ain't born/souls don't die/souls ain't made of water/ain't made of Earth/ain't made of sky" (quoting from memory...don't flog me too much if I'm a bit "off"

)
