Recording and production

Kenny Young and company were overwhelmed after the whirlwind success of their eponymous debut album, and spent a significant while recovering in Bali. The experience revitalized him, and he wanted to do more than write silly love songs; he wanted to share his enlightenment and his Bali with the world, and it's evident throughout the album, from the cover art, to snippets of gamelan concerts, to song names ("Kupu-kupu" means butterfly). Website Allmusic gives the album 4 stars and says, 'Strange Ships is worth the price of admission alone. But other songs are just as enjoyable for the vibe they create: the America-like "For Whatever It's Worth", the jazz-pop of "Yuli, Yuli", "Kupu, Kupu" and "Minor Therapy", the slick Californian folk of "Survival", and the spot-on country rock of "Me Without You".'
