I have to put together the music for a booze cruise/fundraiser I run and I am looking for some new, current music.

I'm not looking for any Island artists, I have a lot of that, and I'm already including a lot of Buffett, reggae, etc. But I need to add a few current, popular songs into that mix.

I just got Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" and I need a few more songs that people will know, but will fit with the rest of the beachy music.

Any suggestions?

At the risk of raising the ire of a Buffett fan or three, I'd include a few of Kenny Chesney's hits: Back Where I Come From, etc.

I'm going to guess you've already got Beach Boys, but Eagles might fit pretty well, too.

Songs people will know?

D*mn...that leaves my stuff out.

Relatively current: David Lee Murphy, "Loco", and Tracy Bird, "Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo" and "How'd I Wind Up in Jamaica" (the latter is a bit more obscure, but still a fun song).

Seven & the Sun's "Walk with Me"
Tommy Lee " Good Times"
Ben Harper "Steal My Kisses"
Uncle Kracker " When the Sun goes Down", "In a Little While" "Drift Away"

These didn't just come out, but are tunes by current artists that have a summertime vibe...I have them on my mp3 player mixed with the trop rock and reggae...enjoy

I've got you on there ...and a fair amount of country music too.

ah, if you like country, maybe consider these if you don't already have them:

"Beach of Cheyenne" and "Two Pina Coladas" - Garth Brooks

"The Seashores of Old Mexico" - George Strait

I thought that was a Chesney song? Although Uncle Kracker's "Follow Me" is pretty much the same song.

It is a Chesney song but a duet with Uncle Kracker.

How about Alan Jackson?
He has "Summertime Blues" and "Chattahouche"

Bellamy Brothers

Reggae Cowboy..

Steve Dahl and The Dahlfins
The Sandals
The Ventures

"Goes Down Easy" by Van Zant is a fun song!

I don't have the Chesney CD, so not sure if it's on his CD, but it is on my Uncle Kracker CD....but yes, it's a duet.

Heh...thank you very, very much. I'm honored.

Unless you were at Migration, you probably don't have anything from my shiny brand-new album yet. Check it out at http://www.lorendavidson.com/edah_detail.htm. I'm waiting for my CDBaby page to go up before I send out the "ophicial" announcement, but I've got them in now at home, and there's a link to buy using PayPal.
