Album Notes

The Toucans, based in tropical Seattle, have been playing Pan around the Pacific Northwest for over 10 years, and there's no end in sight. Their high-energy rhythms and eclectic yet ever tasteful musical sensibilities will get your body moving and your spirit soaring!

Beak Sounds, the 8th album from the "tony tigers of steel" is chock-full of essential grooves and rhythms to help keep your body moving all day long! We've taken dozens of songs and run them through the gauntlet of hundreds of live performances, leaving only the very best ones to record on this album.

With the stellar engineering talents of David Pascal (Jazz Police, Red Fish Blue Fish) and Jack Endino (Nivana, Mudhoney, too many others to list), this is by far the best-sounding Toucans album ever!

We've collected all the top tunes together, each guaranteed to deliver those good, good, good vibrations, into one easy-to-hear album! So pop our CD into your player, kick back at the cabana, and catch a wave with the Toucans Steel Drum Band!

REVIEWS

A terrific intro to the real world of pan or steel drum.
author: Lee Marshall
Rather than write a review about CD Baby...I'm gonna talk about the cd. The cover intrigued me as it is a ringer/take-off on the Beach Boys Endless Summer album cover. AND it includes a Beach Boys tune...and some Bob Marley and...well...I thought I'd give it a whirl. The Toucans turn in an inspired performance virtually throughout. Well played. Nice vibe. A terrific intro to the real world of pan and steal drum. If you're heavy into the old Calpsoes and Carnival music from back in the day...pass on this one...but if you want some great music to take out on your sail boat to help set the mood...This one's definitely for you.

CD BABY rocks!
author: Kerry
I am very impressed with the selection offered by CD BABY. I was looking for a specific sound to use on my sailboat, and found it on CD BABY. I really like the longer sound bites at CD BABY. This gave me enough examples to know I would enjoy the CD. Delivery was excellent. I also enjoyed the notice received when the CD was shipped. Uh, I guess you would have to be there on this one...
