"This is a fun CD with songs that are "happy." Some of the Caribbean CD's get boring after the first couple of songs - I didn't find that to be the case with this CD."
Not what I expected

"I'm not usually very harsh in my criticism of CDs. I realize music is subjective, and one person's trash is another person's treasure. HOWEVER, this "steel drum band" CD turned out to be a single steel drum playing over top of a "drum machine" (stiff MIDI sequences utilizing low-end sound libraries, for you musicians out there). Actually, I'm not even positive that the steel drum is live, it might be MIDI (fake) as well. The guitar sounds live, and the player likes to insert solos as often as possible, as though he's a frustrated guitarist who is using the lure of "steel drums" to trick people into listening to his guitar solos. I found this CD to be very disappointing."
