We just got back from a vacation in Colorado and found the CD in the pile of mail. We've been listening to it over and over again and absolutely LOVE it!!! Those oldies sound fantastic! I'm glad I ordered it.

OMG - That Beres cover of Jones's classic is AWESOME!
That steel guitar crying over the vocals - wow.
I love all kinds of music (except standard jazz) and this fusion of country and reggae just feels so natural to me.
(I went thru a LONG phase of country music.)
Patsy and George would be happy to hear these versions.
Thanks for the tip, Mon - I'm gonna get this for a big road trip that I have coming up.

Scottie - those are some of the vinyl albums from my collection back in the day. Love 'Christine' from the Burrito Bros. Saw a tribute to Gram, featuring Chris Hillman a few years back. THAT was a treat. Sweet mandolin player.
Saw the Ark Band play at The Yacht Club in '98 (I think?) Maybe you were there? Nice tight band. Big Up!
Thanks for the music . . .

Kahuna,
I helped to book the Ark Band back in Columbus Ohio (our mutual hometown back then) and assisted in their coming to play in Negril at the Negril Yacht Club in 2000 for what was the second annual Boardie Bash called the "Meeting of the Board" back then... here are some blasts from the past posted just as they were back then on the Negril.com Negril Today page including their gig at Roots Bamboo that same year!

Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
We formed that band somewhere around '87, I think. I left the band very early because I was wanting to move to Miami. In fact, I think the last time I saw Terry and Eustace was a few years later when I was the house DJ at the Reggae Directory Club on South Beach. They were playing at a club across the street and by chance, happened to come into the club.
I have tremendous respect for those guys...if anyone happens to see them, please bless them up for me...
