"Buffet Hotel" contains 12 great new songs, and also includes a 24-page booklet printed on recycled paper. The CD was influenced by a trip to the West African "Festival In The Desert," a music event that takes place annually near Timbuktu. It was in Bamako that Jimmy discovered Buffet Hotel, an old colonial era train station/hotel, which was where the music scene flourished in Mali in the 60's. This collection includes a few songs that Jimmy premiered during the 2009 summer tour, including "Summerzcool" and "A Lot To Drink About." Guest artists on the album include Sonny Landreth, Jake Shimabukuro, Cedric Burnside, Steve "Lightnin'" Malcolm and Toumani Diabate, and was produced by long-time Coral Reefers Mike Utley and Mac McAnally.
Jimmy's audio commentary about the songs on Buffet Hotel is available here!
