The sounds coming from the Caribbean Sound cd has been a real pleasure to listen to and review. To be quite honest, I have not been a big fan of instrumental music, probably due to most all the reviewing I do has vocals involved-but this cd has been a real change for me as an reviewer.

If you need a change of pace or just need to relax and relieve some of that stress that has accumulated from a hard day at work - well then the 'Evolution' cd from Caribbean Sound is exactly what you need. It will soothe every part of your being.

The Caribbean Sounds 'Evolution' CD can spark a interest for all listeners. And for those of you that have and/or still in the Armed Forces, you will be thrilled to hear the Caribbean Sounds 'Armed Forces Medley', done quite well and elegantly. Something to be proud of.

The Caribbean Sound are a group of musicians that have been there, done that and have worked hard to get where they are now. The Caribbean Sound consist of: Barry Olsavsky - Manager, arranger, composer, and lead panist, performs on Low Lead, Double Seconds, Single Lead and percussion.....Mike Wilson - Triple Guitars, Single Second, Percussion.....Sean Tarleton - Bassist.....Danny Stimpson - drum set and percussion.....

Just to name a few tunes that caught my attention are: 'Hippies on the Beach' - this is a soft tune that I found very soothing.....'Dreams of the Children' - just like dreams of children, the music in this tune is sometimes sweet, sometimes playful, sometimes active/intense. I guess you could say this was one of my favorites..... 'Casablanca' - starts out with a Jamaican sound and then takes on a jazzy life of its own.....'Last Train Home' - this lil' tune took on a jazzy number with country rockish slight overtones. And a couple more caught my attention and they could almost fall into the same category, and they are, 'Barrel' and 'Tamboo Bamboo' - drums and percussion, these two tunes kind of satisfied my native american inner-roots.

Every person should have in their cd collection music that is good and soothing to their soul, and I feel that this is one of those cd's. So visit the Caribbean Sound Website at: http://www.caribbeansound.net and purchase your 'Evolution' CD...

Each time I listen to The Caribbean Sound Steel Band I get this refreshed rejuvenated feeling. The Caribbean Sound Steel Band music is uplifting and a complete joy to listen to. This reviewer had the distinct pleasure of reviewing their 'Evolution' cd and now it's their 'J' Ouvert Comin' cd's turn for it's cd review.

Caribbean Sound Steel Band J' Ouvert Comin' CD has 11 fantastic tracks on it. My attention was grabbed by the title track J' Ouvert Comin' - it shows the musicianship of the Caribbean Sound Steel Band. The french word J' Ouvert means 'light of day'. Well the Caribbean Sound Steel Band will put the light in your day with the J' Ouvert Comin' cd, just a few of those tunes to light up your day will be: 'Carnival Man' is another track packed tight with Caribbean Sound Steel Band talent as musicianship and songwriting goes, and everything else that they have up their sleeves. Amazing!.....Pan by Storm is done with the energy/stamina and all that Caribbean Sound Steel Band possesses. I can not say enough about these musicians, they exceed beyond excellence.

Caribbean Sound Steel Band has outdone themselves on their 'Santana Medley', another tune by the way that caught my attention, or I should say 'grabbed my heart and soul'. Not only did their version give me 'chills to the bone' but it also brought on tears - if your music gives me tears and chills you have something HOT on your hands. And when you have the caliber level of Caribbean Sound Steel Band coming all together, what can you expect. This was the most exciting, heart touching 13:53 minute ride I have ever been on. Even Santana himself has never gotten this reaction from me. Caribbean Sound Steel Band, you have made Carlos Santana proud!

Go to the Caribbean Sound Steel Band website at: http://www.caribbeansound.net for your listen and make your purchase of your own Caribbean Sound Steel Band CD's.
