I have one of his recent albums, Beyond Words, with Richard Bona on bass and Omar Hakim on drums, and it is an amazing record. |

Mcferrin is a genius. Fact

One in a duo with Jack deJohnette and one with solo (with some impromptu guests). Just amazing. Great bass lines to! And by the way, I love all of his stuff, yep, even Don't worry be happy! |

hehe... we said "album". |

| | | They're all "albums".
LPs, Cassettes, 8-Track, Reel-to-Reel, CDs, etc.
Sorry, I once e-mailed the dopey Classic Rock morning jock here 'cause he started referring to "The White Album" as "The White CD".
...which segues me into McFerrin's version of "Drive My Car". Crazy stuff!

Back when there were 8 tracks, cassettes and LPs, we only referred to vinyl as albums. Quote:

I'm from "back when" too, and where I grew up, you used "album" for all of them, as long as you were referring to the entire work. As in "I've got that album on cassette." Maybe it's a regional thing (I grew up in southern California).
