OPH has the background vocals featuring Nadirah! Nice! John Lovell is also featured at the end.

Wow! Coast of Marseilles is excellent!

From Amazon.com:

Robert, the incredible Steel Drum player in Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, has chosen his favorite JB songs, and with the help of fellow Coral Reefers, has recorded this fantastic CD for all fans, especially our JB Parrottheads.

"tropical bliss!" Awesome! Mine should arrive "Come Monday."

(no I have not graduated to downloading music. I like the idea of getting a present in the mail. Delayed gratification, blah blah blah.)

I'd like to know if it has any liner notes.

[phjrsaunt]

I'd like to know if it has any liner notes.

What liner notes there are are printed in white on yellow, and they're really hard to read.

Other than that:
I've listed to about one half of the first song (OPH) and I already LOVE it!

[conched]

Guess it's time for another daily walk with A Lovely Cruise.

[jbfinscj]

Great background music....love it

I finally ordered and received my copy a couple days ago, arriving amidst 10" of snow or so.

WOW! I absolutely love it!

The liner notes confirm that it includes all of the Coral Reefer Band and Reeferettes on instruments and background vocals, and Mac McAnally produced it.

From my Facebook post:

One bright spot with which to offset my aches and angst from shoveling, is a brilliant CD that arrived in my mail on the same day as the snow! It makes it so easy to drift away in spirit to the islands, which in turn warms the cockles of my heart! I always enjoy Jimmy Buffett songs when they are stripped down from the band and backup vocals to just Jimmy and his guitar. Now with this cd, I can enjoy his songs stripped of Jimmy, leaving just the band and backup vocals which is an equally refreshing treat! Along with the ever-pleasing pans of Robert Greenidge , the songs include joyful backup vocals by Nadirah Shakoor and Tina Gullickson, the guitars of Peter Mayer and Jim Mayer , and the rest of the Coral Reefer Band doing their thing: Mr Utley, Doyle Grisham, Roger Guth, John Lovell, and Eric Darken. Mac McAnally is a utility player on guitar, mandolin, and keyboards, and he also produced this collection beautifully! I highly recommend it... it is delightful listening! Roberts pans sing these songs beautifully!!
