Anyone have a recommendation on a great steel drum recording?

Trying to recreate the feeling of being on an island at night and listening to a steel drum band. Most of what I can find on youtube is rather cheesey and contrived.

Monty Alexander is an amazing jazz pianist from Jamaica and he blends some home grown instruments in his albums. One album I remember offhand is Jamento. Beautiful album with some really nice steel drum work.

Totally get that island vibe quest! For some legit steel drum magic, check out "Island Rhythms" by Bob Lyons – it's got that authentic feel you're after. I feel you on the cheesy stuff on YouTube, so this one should hit the spot. And hey, while you're diving into the world of tunes, maybe peek at pearl drums customer service here for some rhythm inspiration.
