All the Best reaches back to 1966 for the soul-steeped 'River Deep Mountain High' and chugs through the decades, dipping into the '70s for the Ike'd-up hit 'Nutbush City Limits' and hanging around the '80s and '90s for the bulk of 33 tracks.

A band whose mix of electronic pop, unusual soul, and outright experimentalism feels more inviting than ever on the project's fifth album.

Warm reflections of a fading past, pain wrenched from a still-present loss, and a mix of anxiety and hope for a future that is promised to no one.

The Drumhedz are the session players and the road warriors, or 'Cats that were looked over, but they're bad,' says Drumhedz bandleader Chris Dave, who's drummed for everyone from Adele to Bieber and D' Angelo.

By the time of his fifth album, Havana Daydreamin', Jimmy Buffett seemed to have established a pattern for what a collection of his songs would be. The best one-word description for the musical style still would have to be "country," but Buffett, and probably his record label, had given up on trying to sell him to the conventional country audience, and instead aimed at a slice of the pop market. That was fair enough, since he had evolved a persona as a Gulf Coast ne'er-do-well in compositions full of sentimentally viewed oddball characters.
