5.0 out of 5 stars Club Trini Is Back - Put Your Booze In The Blender, June 10, 2000

Club Trini. Who are they? What do they sound like? I was you at one time. I asked the same questions. I ask you this: If you have ever sat on a sunny beach, with SPF 15 in one hand and a cool Corona (tm) with a lime in the other, then you have probably heard of Club Trini -- at least _wished_ you had been listening to it at that moment. Picture this: cool calypso blended with a bit of parrothead madness mixed with a dash of salt and poured evenly across the entire CD. Still don't get it? Well, in the catchy, uptempo "Tripp," you are seemingly taken on a different kind of 'trip' through the lower lattitudes. While on "Club Trini (back in town)" you are taken on a mystical journey through across the white sand beaches, through the palm trees, and up into the base of the volcano. Club Trini's music is mostly instrumental -- but not the corny "stuck in the elevator" kind of instrumental - we're talking steel drums and congos and all kinds of other tropical-sounding instruments that one could only describe while in the Islands. Keep in mind that the lead crew of Club Trini -- Michael Utley and Robert Greenridge -- have been playing the laid back, key west calypso-style music for longer than most of us parrotheads can remember as members of the Coral Reefers in Jimmy Buffett's yearly traveling party. Keep in mind that Buffett performs four songs on this masterpiece AND this was recorded LIVE at Margaritaville Cafe. Plain and simple: If you plan on being anywhere where the sun is shining, buy this CD. You will not be disappointed. In an otherwise stressfull world, a cerveza and a dash of Club Trini is all you need. Fins Up... Parrothead Brian "We are the people our parents warned us about..."

5.0 out of 5 stars NICE, March 19, 2002

This CD is a smile waiting to happen. As soon as a I popped it in the cd player I was dancing around my apartment, shaking my hips to the caribbean beat, completely forgetting the bad mood I was in 10 minutes before. The beats and guitar work are great, Jimmy Buffett's vocals on some of the tracks are balm to the parrothead soul (esp his take on No Woman No Cry) and I have long been a huge fan of Nadirah Shakoor, since I heard her solo while Jimmy took a break at his Cincinnati concert one year. The live ambience only adds, with the energy and noise of the crowd as much a part of the listening experience as you own tropical island fantasies. Buy it for the rhythms, buy it 'cause it's Jimmy, buy it 'cause Nadirah is on it....just do yourself a favor and buy it!

To all you fellow Parrot Heads out there, few words can express what a masterpiece this albumn is. With the mixture of steel drums, drums and live atmosphere at Margaritaville Cafe New Orleans it comes across in magnificant form. Just pop it in your player sit back close your eyes and you are transported to your favorite beach (Cayman islands for me! ). Don't miss this album, a MUST on your list and your Buffett collection.
