The new Rick Steffen album has just been released! We thought you, being a lover of the Florida Keys and Island Music, would like to know more about his new CD, "Another Island." This new collection of songs from one of Key West's most versatile songwriter/performers is aimed at "keeping the Island dream alive" and focuses on not focusing, and his recent move to Daytona Beach, Florida, another island. Lots of drinking songs on this CD;a song about Sloppy Joes in Key West, Wine, Coconut Rum, and more mentions of Pina Coladas and other concoctions.Rick calls his songs Beyond Buffett". More boating and beach references and another novelty song that sequels the"Fish Song" (Wet Dream) that may well be the last collaboration from Shel Silverstein....... Wait ! There's more! There's two soca/calypso party songs, a ska number reminiscent of old style Reggae roots, (Bang on de Drum) & a couple Buffett style songs. 12 SONGS ON THE ALBUM: DOWN AT SLOPPY JOES, CANNONBALL, USE YOUR FREEDOM, PALM TREE ON DE ISLAND, OUT ON THE OCEAN, HURRICANE,SHERRY GIRL, CARIBBEAN RUN, COCONUT RUM,TAKE DE BULL, PINCHIN MY PENNY, WINE WINE WINE.

CD ReviewsDown To The Keys Bob Heffelfinger | Memphis, TN | 01/31/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "This latest release by journeyman troubadour Rick Steffen is not a concert CD. This is the type of album that takes you back to Key West, sitting under the fans at Sloppy Joe's on a warm afternoon, sipping a cold one while the guy onstage plys his trade.Steffen shows his versatility throughout "Another Island," by including Soca, Ska, Pop, Reggae, Calypso, Jazz & even a Ballad on this effort. With a strong adaptive voice, he moves effortlessly from one genre to another without a glitch in sight.Rick Steffen sings about the things we love: Key West, the Caribbean, palm trees, coconuts and even hurricanes.....and he does it very well with solid vocals and tight backup.Though the album is solid from top to bottom, my particular favorites are: "Sloppy Joe's," "Out On The Ocean," "Palm Tree On De Island" and the melodic ballad, "Hurricane."As Rick says, "I plan to continue my work here making visitors and locals forget about their corporate or private quests and, with my songs, promote the pursuit of happiness and a more casual lifestyle - after all life is too short for anything else."Steffen's philosophy, espoused above, is why this CD has earned a spot in my CD carousel and I'll bet it deserves a spot in yours. Check it out today.....It'll take ya back to the Keys!!!" Take a trip to the island anytime you want ( or need ) it ! Tully Mars in Floridahhhh | Daytona Beach, FL USA | 10/20/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Rick Steffen is the kind of singer/songwriter that could be considered a perfect "tropical" musician - his songs are all straight from his southern heart and all carry his unique way of looking at the highs and lows of life here in the tropics...While people will always compare Rick to Jimmy Buffett, I think the comparison can only be made to the early days of Buffett - way back when Jimmy actually lived some of the adventures and tropical lifestyle he made so many of us yearn for in the old days. Rick Steffen spends far more time "down island" these days than Buffett, and the magic of that special island really shines through in all the songs Rick sings on this latest album that will have you toe tappin' and singing along with a great big grin as you listen again and again !Rick looks at life through tropical eyes and his songwriting is clever, witty, and emotional with outstanding lyrics that range from deep observations to fun and carefree island tunes.His talents as a musician shine as he performs a wide range of musical styles including folk, calypso, reggae, jazz, soca, ska, and pop. It all works together to make a wonderful album that is sure to be enjoyed by lovers of the tropics - even if they are stuck in the "great white north" during a deep freeze.If you can't afford the actual trip south, Rick Steffen provides a great escape with this most enjoyable CD that will have your feet in the sand within moments of putting it in your CD player, even if only in your mind..." Steffen's Best Ever Pam Hudson | Florida | 11/29/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am a long time fan of Rick's. He just keeps getting better. This has got to be the best album he has ever done. As usual his mellow style is just the thing to unwind by."
