Pirates Of The Mississippi Album: “Paradise”

This is the absolute best album the Pirates ever did, and it went nowhere! John Anderson's version of the title song cannot hold a candle to the Pirate's version. I think the group split shortly after the album's release, and that's a real shame. The album is full of great songs such as the title song, "Think Locally",and

the live "Feed Jake".The Pirates injected their songs with a great deal of humor along with some wonderful musicianship.

It's a real shame that the group and this album were never given a decent chance. If you get this album, you will not regret it.

This is without a doubt the best album they ever did, and the greatest obscure country album no one has heard of. Let the Joneses Win, Call 911, Biggest Broken Heart in Tennessee, I Think Locally and Weakness for the Weekend are just grooving and infectious. One of the few albums I feel for the FIRST time I heard it. County and Paradise were also done by John Anderson, Feed Jake is a live version. There exists a radio promo version with two extra songs and no Feed Jake that is even better, if you can find it.

Country radio chose to play John Andersons version of "Paridise"and basically this album received no airplay which is sad because this CD is really upbeat with catchie lyricks and great Guitar and steel work. If you consider yourself even somewhat of a "Pirates" fan you would love this recording.

never heard of this band down under but like their music and have ordered a couple more of their cd's
