Catalog depth is unreal

Been digging through Toots Hibbert's discography for the last month. Every era has at least three essential tracks. The growth from the early material to the recent work is something special — few artists evolve this gracefully.

Big up. Reviews like this are what keep us in the studio at 3am. Thank you for listening properly.

Brilliant in flashes

Toots Hibbert has a couple of all-time tracks but the rest of the catalog hasn't matched it. Hoping the next era doubles down on the strengths. The vocal is too good to be applied to weaker material.

Live is where it really happens

Caught Toots Hibbert live twice now and both shows raised the bar. Stage presence is magnetic, the band reads each other instinctively, and the crowd interaction never feels forced. Studio recordings are good — live is essential.

Reading this on tour bus right now — made my morning. Thanks for the love and the close listen. Working on the next one already.

Not connecting for me

Have tried multiple Toots Hibbert releases on recommendations and the writing doesn't land. The production choices feel safe and the lyrics rarely surprise. Glad others enjoy it but it isn't for me.

Appreciate you sitting with it. Mixed responses are part of the deal when you take risks. Hope the next one connects.

Underrated

Toots Hibbert should be on more playlists than they are. The songwriting craft is there, the voice is distinctive, and the production keeps getting better. Word will spread.
