Review of Take The Weather With You

There's a long thoughtful review of the album "Take the Weather With You" on AngryCountry.com. One of the best I've read on this CD, though it overlooked Reggabilly Hill one of the best songs.

It also failed to mention that Matt Betton was the co-writer of Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On, and it didn't mention Here We Are at all.....

Probably didn't know about the video.

It's a great review that captures the essence of Buffett and TTWWY.

I liked the review but I found this bit a bit odd:

'“Breathe in, Breathe Out, Move On” is exquisite. Philosophically in keeping with Buffett's perspective for laying out and laying back in the rough places, it offers solace to those crushed in the daily grind… a meditation of acceptance, being in the moment, easy in whatever comes along. Sketched with just a few images, the mindset evoked is expansive and engaging, just where you'd want to be, which ironically enough is how this whole thing got started to begin with.'

I've never read anyone describing this song as JB's perspective for laying out and laying back in rough places. It's not about any kind of daily grind.

It's rather obvious in tune that it's about New Orleans and Katrina. Isn't it?

Amazing that they mentioned something other than a SJPTD - Wonder Why We Ever Go Home. Stunning.

That was an excellent essay on the poetic side of JB. He can represent both poetry and parties to me!
(but "partying" in a laid-back, old-folks ccontented kind of way)

I just love the phrase "he's a staggering writer"!
