Album 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!
