Far Side Of The World
Released on March 19, 2002, Far Side of the World is Jimmy Buffett's 25th studio album and his first on his own record label, Mailboat Records. Many fans compare it to his 90's work like Fruitcakes and Banana Wind for its mix of humorous narratives and self-referential storytelling. Whatever .. it's pure Jimmy Buffett. #jimmybuffett #farsideoftheworld #y2kmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #countryrock #gulfandwestern
Do y'all do #MusicWomenWednesday here on the Wafrns? I feel like it's mostly a Mastodon thing, not even Bluesky, but I really don't need an excuse to talk about my favorite lady musicians…
1) Jennifer Rannells - "Distance"
I discovered & fell in love with this album (released in 2002) as a young teen back when you could still discover music on CDBaby by searching for "influences" and "sounds like" and such (the same feature I miss from MySpace!) and it's really one of my most enduring best-loved albums. I just adore the flowing, intricate piano and her lyrics are insidiously evocative and her voice is enchanting.

2) "Obligatory" self-promo… 🤪 ("Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby" from O Brother Where Art Thou?)
Recorded this with the assistance of my trusty TC-Helicon VoiceLive Touch. There's only two vocal tracks; the harmonies are all generated electronically in real time as I'm singing.
