it reminded me of the billies on "breath a bulegrass dmb tribute" (dont know if thats a popular cd but i love it......hillbillies)
jimmy buffet aint heard of over here in UK (dmb also)...... but from the sound of his voice im not desperate to order his cds
you're in the UK? cool shit, we are getting a lot more every month.

I agree, i've only heard one good cover of Billies and it was a tribute band here, and it wasnt even the whole band, just a guy singing on guitar and a guy on sax. I think i liked it cause the guy didnt try to sing like dave at all, he sang in his own voice, I hate the sdound people make when they try and force the dave sound on their voice.
everytime i hear someone trying to play dave it makes me feel. 1) pitty, as i know some people try damn hard to no avail 2) even more impressed that dave can.
im guessing the mixture of strong virginian accent mixed with south african accents is the reason for his cool sounding vocals.......plus the fact hes a GREAT talent.
yeah im from the uk, been using the site for quite a few years but havent the time to post much....(nor the desire to get chastised by some college kid getting angry if i put up a post anything like one that was up 3 years ago.......... )

He didnt live there that long prior to making DMB so Im gonna take a "guess" and say that he doesnt have an accent (plus Im from virginia and lived half my life there and I cant say there really is an accent from being over there).

i agree that you play a cover in your own style, not try to duplicate the artist, however, jimmy is way way out of key through the entire song

[quote][b]Isn't Keller signed to Dave Matthew's ATO Records? [/b]

and by the way, Jimmy Buffet is a great pilot. He keeps his airplanes at Jet Aviation in Palm Beach Int. airport. I've seen him taxi by a couple of times.[/quote]

keller williams is signed to the string cheese incidents SCI Fidelity Records

jimmys the man, and IMO the guy could play pretty much any song he wants and i'd dig it. plus his restaurants are always good for some excellent burgers

solid cover
