notes

Island Dreamin' is the latest recording from Steel Tropics. This exciting brand new CD release features all original music written & arranged by Southern California Steel Drum artist Tom Liston. This recording is a wonderful mixture of various styles of music such as Calypso, Soca, Smooth Jazz, Samba, Jawaiian, Merengue and Latin Jazz. The tunes are all blended together to form a tropical Steel Drum CD that has been highly praised by listeners and musicians alike. There is a little something special on this recording for everyone: relaxing tropical tunes, cool Island melodies, fresh jazzy sounds and hot Caribbean grooves all complete with Steel Drums, Marimba, Guitars, Congas, Keyboards and Flutes.

This is Steel Tropics 4th CD that they have recorded in the past 2 years! The group's follow up CD should be out and available some time in early April of this year.

Steel Tropics has also just had the honor of having one of their tracks placed on the latest Tommy Bahama Compilation CD. The band is really stoked about being included on this compilation disc alongside some pretty famous names in the world of music such as: Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Caribbean Jazz Project, Vince Charles, Pete Escovedo, Ray Obiedo, Arturo Sandoval and Poncho Sanchez.

This innovative Steel Drum ensemble has decided to do at least 1 or more brand new recordings every year, so keep your ears & eyes open for future CDs from Steel Tropics. They will continue to put out the highest quality steel drum CDs every year.

Stay tuned!

  • I LOVED IT!
    author: Deborah Fields

    I bought the Island Dreaming CD and have probably listened to it a dozen times already. I love the music and I keep it playing in my house constantly when I'm home. I love it so much because it makes me feel like I'm on vacation in the middle of the work week!

  • Easy to use and buy CD's

    Was looking for a steel band CD that was lively but not over the top loud or rambunxious singing. I'm able to pop this into my CD player at work...and everyone really enyoys it--puts everyone into a happy more relaxed mood without being intrusive. Just Perfect!

  • My tropical escape
    author: Sherry D. Texas

    I have found a tropical escape in this cd. I closed my eyes the first time I listened to it and smiled. This is definitely Island Dreamin' for me.

  • Bon Voyage!
    author: Elle B from Wisconsin

    This CD transported me back to a warm, tropical island, just the escape from winter that I was hoping for!

  • Easy listening.

    Very easy to listen to and a nice instrument sound.Mother in law happy - so that's good.

    This is wild and wacky stuff. If only Gilligan and the Skipper would have aquired this cd ... they would have NEVER left the island. Great tunes mon!!!

  • A fantastic evolution for Steel Tropics!
    author: Chris Carlyle

    Steel Tropics latest cd is a bold and innovative departure for the group. The blend of styles and influences is quite spectacular, and the Soca influence is particularly impressive. I was also taken by the infusion of Marimba into the sound. Well done!
