Tagged: beach bar playlist, harold boothe
If there was ever an official Beach Bar Bums troubadour, Harold Boothe may have just been bestowed that title.

Back in 2015, I had the great opportunity to attend Moonsplash, the annual music festival that takes place on the beaches of Anguilla at the Dune Preserve. One of the standout performers from that night was Mighty Mystic. His shows were energetic and entertaining and he had the audience in the palm of his hands the entire time.

I’m always on the lookout for great tunes to add to my beach bar playlist. After all, there are only so many Chesney, Buffett and Marley songs you can play. So when I came across “Rum is the Reason” by Toby Keith, from his newest album, “35 mph Town,” and heard the sweet sounds of steelpan coming at me, I knew I had another spot on my playlist filled. The tune has that lilting rhythmic island swing to it that gently lulls you into a...
