not a bad disc * but no songs for eternity

Jimmy Buffett is a live act. Point. That's why I love his live CDs and always hope it and look for songs of studio albums of recent years. As these albums before, Buffett has with "Songs from St. Somewhere" a solid work, but without getting the big hit. Sets of course but also the question of whether the classics are to be repeated at all, and if that is at all necessary.

"Songs from St. Somewhere" brings 16 new Buffett songs; in times of 10-track CDs can I find the almost extraordinary. I personally feel that the CD has not really bad number, but also highlights are scarce. Most likely on a Buffett concert I could still "Tides", "Cadillac for Sale" and "Rue de la Guitare" (which he actually played on the last concert) imagine. "Too Drunk to karaoke" probably has hit potential, which I do not like the song; But what also can simply lie on the duet partner.

As Buffett fan you will always be right with "Songs from St. Somewhere": the usual Buffett feeling adjusts itself partially, the instrumentation is true; (often to read on the net) the criticism of Buffett's voice I can not understand. For the First Time, I would rather not recommend "Songs from St. Somewhere"; as it is, rather resorting to a live CD; I personally like "Live from Anguila" scary good.
