{"title":"Jimmy Buffett","description":"\u003cp\u003eA practitioner of a mellow, witty country-rock style he knowingly dubbed \"Gulf \u0026amp; Western,\" Jimmy Buffett created a billion-dollar empire out of his fantasy of a life on the Florida coast. It was an invention he constructed over the course of several ramshackle, amiable albums in the 1970s, records that took him from a Jerry Jeff Walker acolyte to a singer\/songwriter with his own distinct traits: he had a warm sunny melodicism, a fondness for breezy Caribbean rhythms and instrumentation, and an easygoing delivery that suited his sentimental streak and sense of humor. All of this was evident on the songs Buffett dubbed \"The Big 8,\" the '70s songs that remained at the core of his repertoire throughout his career, a songbook that featured \"Come Monday,\" \"A Pirate Looks at Forty,\" \"Why Don't We Get Drunk,\" \"Cheeseburger in Paradise,\" and \"Margaritaville.\" The latter lent its name to a variety of businesses Buffett ran in the '90s and beyond -- most prominently, he had a series of chain restaurants -- that catered to an audience that extended far beyond the Parrot Heads who were his most dedicated fans. On his records and especially at his concerts, Buffett concentrated on pleasing those Parrot Heads, singing songs that celebrated easy beachside living until his death in 2023. The posthumous Equal Strain on All Parts appeared less than two months after his passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in southern Mississippi and raised in Alabama, Buffett moved to Nashville to try to make it in country music in the late '60s. After signing to the Barnaby label, he released one album, 1970's Down to Earth, from which the socially conscious single \"The Christian?\" suggested he might be more at home protesting in Greenwich Village. (Barnaby \"lost\" his second album, High Cumberland Jubilee, though they would find it and release it after he became successful.) Instead, the songwriter moved to Key West, Florida, where he gradually evolved into the beach bum character and developed the tropical folk-rock style that would endear him to millions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigning to ABC-Dunhill Records (later absorbed by MCA), Buffett achieved notoriety but not much else with his second (released) album, White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean (1973), which featured a song called \"Why Don't We Get Drunk\" (\"...and screw?\" goes the chorus). Buffett revealed a more thoughtful side on Living and Dying in 3\/4 Time (1974), with its song of marital separation \"Come Monday,\" his first singles chart entry. But it took the Top Ten song \"Margaritaville\" and the album on which it was featured, 1977's Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, to capture Buffett's tropical worldview and, for a while, turn him into a pop star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the start of the '80s, Buffett's yearly albums had stopped going gold, and he briefly tried the country market again. But by the middle of the decade, it was his yearly summer tours that were filling his bank account, as a steadily growing core of Sun Belt fans he dubbed \"Parrotheads\" made his concerts into Mardi Gras-like affairs. Buffett launched his Margaritaville line of clothes and opened the first of his Margaritaville clubs in Key West. He also turned to fiction writing, landing on the best-seller lists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis recording career, meanwhile, languished, though a hits compilation sold millions; a 1990 live album, Feeding Frenzy, went gold; and a 1992 box set retrospective, Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads, became one of the best-selling box sets ever. Buffett finally got around to making a new album in 1994, when Fruitcakes became one of his fastest-selling records. It was followed in 1995 by Barometer Soup and Banana Wind in 1996. The following year, Buffett began working on a musical adaptation of Herman Wouk's novel Don't Stop the Carnival with the author himself. After Broadway producers expressed little interest, the production ran for six weeks in Miami in 1997. In spring of 1998, Buffett released a collection of songs from the production as he began mulling over the idea of taking the play on the road. In 1999 he released Beach House on the Moon as well as Live: Tuesday\/Thursday\/Saturday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first few years of the millennium, Buffett's newly launched Mailboat label issued close to a dozen concert recordings, as well as the 2002 studio album Far Side of the World. Two years later, he allowed RCA to distribute his second Mailboat studio album, License to Chill. Live albums recorded in Hawaii and Boston appeared in 2005, followed by an all-new collection of songs called Take the Weather with You in 2006 and two more live sets, Live in Anguilla in 2007 and Feeding Frenzy: Live in 2008. In 2009, Buffett released Buffet Hotel, his first new studio album in three years; it debuted at 17. Next up was Songs from St. Somewhere, which arrived in August of 2013 and debuted at four on the Billboard charts. Three years later, Buffett released 'Tis the SeaSon, his first Christmas album in 20 years. Buried Treasure, Vol. 1, an archival release containing rare songs recorded in 1969, appeared in 2017. Buffett returned with Life on the Flip Side, his first collection of original songs in seven years, in the summer of 2020. The album found him collaborating with Irish singer\/songwriter Paul Brady and Promise of the Real leader Lukas Nelson. Later that year he issued the compilation LP Songs You Don't Know by Heart, to accompany the documentary of the same name. In September 2022, Buffett cancelled his concerts for the rest of the year, citing health issues, then called off another series of shows in May 2023. He was well enough to sit in with Coral Reefer band guitarist Mac McAnally at a show in Rhode Island in June 2023, but it proved to be one of his final public appearances. Jimmy Buffett died on September 1, 2023, at the age of 76.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last two years of his life, Buffett worked on his final album, Equal Strain on All Parts. Featuring cameos by Paul McCartney and Emmylou Harris, it appeared in November 2003. Just prior to its release, the Coral Reef Band announced they'd continue playing Buffett music as a tribute to their leader ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine \u0026amp; William Ruhlmann\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jimmy-buffett-volcano","title":"VOLCANO","description":"Includes liner notes by Don Blanding.\nAlso available with A-1-A on 1 cassette.\nPersonnel: Jimmy Buffett (vocals, guitar); James Taylor , Steve Sykes (vocals, guitar); Andrew McMahon (vocals, keyboards); Dave Loggins, Juan Cadiz, Debbie McCall, Hugh Taylor, Paulette Brown, Alex Taylor, Venetta Fields, Brenda Bryant (vocals); Wilfred Tuilt, Barry Chance (guitar); Don Douglas (banjo); Greg \"Fingers\" Taylor (harmonica); Bill Jones (recorder); Mike Utley (keyboards); Russ Kunkel (drums); Jackie Dangler, Johnny Montezuma, Steve Forman (percussion).\nAfter breaking into the mainstream with his hit \"Margaritaville\" two years earlier, Jimmy Buffett stuck to his formula of mixing fun, up-tempo songs with slower, reflective ones. Although the album contains concert favorites including the playful \"Fins\" and the Caribbean-flavored title track, it seems as if Buffett doesn't have as many deep insights to share on this release. The vocal help from James Taylor on \"Treat Her Like a Lady\" adds to the singalong chorus, but overall the ballads are uninteresting. As a result, this album marks a low point for Jimmy Buffett in a decade in which he delivered one solid album after another. However, Volcano is notable for its inclusion of a wonderful children's song (\"Chanson Por les Petits Enfantes\"), complete with nursery rhyme lyrics. This album is for Parrotheads only, as most of the popular tracks are available on compilations like Songs You Know By Heart. ~ Vik Iyengar\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/10\/1988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jimmy Buffett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563521536233,"sku":"PT9BX3-74IB-00","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Jimmy-Buffett-VOLCANO_AwHgJ.jpg?v=1742346073"},{"product_id":"jimmy-buffett-songs-you-dont-know-by-heart-blue-2-lp","title":"| Songs You Don't Know By Heart (Blue 2 LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eGATEFOLD DOUBLE LP ON BLUE VINYL!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eWhat did you do during quarantine?

These recordings do showcase a nascent talent, one who is admittedly in thrall to Gordon Lightfoot.

Mixed into this soup are classic Buffett tales--songs with attitude, songs about dreamers, wistful memories, bad habits and \"Barefoot Children In The Rain.\" Yet, there's also an added depth, arrived at through thoughtful tributes to some of his favorite authors.\nBAROMETER SOUP continues in the tradition of CHANGES IN LATITUDES, CHANGES IN ATTITUDES and SON OF A SON OF A SAILOR, offering a generous helping of pensive ballads and carefree, whistleable tunes. The poignancy of \"Jimmy Dreams,\" a quietly introspective song about the importance of dreams, is contrasted by \"Lage Nom-Ai,\" a calypso tune with the same dance-inspiring energy as \"Volcano.\" What's different about this Buffett album are the influences and inspirations. The sad tale of the \"Remittance Man,\" for instance, is inspired by a Mark Twain story, and deals with the tragic fate of a wanderer destined to be a \"a prisoner of his fears.\"\nBuffett's strengths are the integrity with which his music reflects both his personality and message, and the ability to get listeners to sing along. He conveys what should be common sense but too often isn't (\"Take it all in it's as big as it seems\/Count all your blessings, remember your dreams\"), and provides social commentary (\"You could shoplift all day at Blockbuster\/But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen\") through tales which, though they are born in the provincial worlds of Key West and the Caribbean, are accessible and applicable to all.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/1\/1995\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jimmy Buffett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588815778025,"sku":"VWHWH6-N5SS-00","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/jimmy-buffett-barometer-soup_lwDR1.jpg?v=1742341292"},{"product_id":"jimmy-buffett-license-to-chill-2-lp","title":"License to Chill [2 LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLicense to Chill [2 LP] is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Jimmy Buffett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 08\/01\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jimmy Buffett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589443121385,"sku":"BGG0WX-AEXH-00","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/jimmy-buffett-license-to-chill-2-lp_nQM4i.jpg?v=1759256751"},{"product_id":"jimmy-buffett-son-of-a-son-of-a-sa","title":"SON OF A SON OF A SA","description":"2 LPs on 1 cassette: SON OF A SON OF A SAILOR (1978)\/COCONUT TELEGRAPH (1981).\nPersonnel: Jimmy Buffet (vocals, acoustic guitar); Tim Krekel (guitar); Billy Puett (bass flute, recorder); Fingers Taylor (harmonica, organ); Jay Spell (piano); Mike Utley (organ); Harry Dailey (bass); Kenneth Buttery (drums, percussion); Ferrell Morris (percussion, marimba); Norbert Putnam (kalimba); Steve Goodman, Deborah McColl, Penny Nichols, Lea Jane Berinati, Janie Fricke, Ginger Holladay (background vocals); The Muscle Shoals Horns.\nThe Muscle Shoals Horns: Harvey Thompson (tenor saxophone); Harrison Calloway, Dennis Good.\nFull title: Son Of A Son Of A Sailor.\nPersonnel: Jimmy Buffett (vocals, acoustic guitar); Tim Krekel (guitar); Billy Puett (bass flute, recorder); Fingers Taylor (harmonica, organ); Jay Spell (piano); Mike Utley (organ); Harry Dailey (bass); Kenneth Buttery (drums, percussion); Ferrell Morris (percussion, marimba); Norbert Putnam (kalimba); Steve Goodman, Deborah McColl, Penny Nichols, Lea Jane Berinati, Janie Fricke, Ginger Holladay (background vocals).\nThe Muscle Shoals Horns: Harvey Thompson (tenor saxophone); Harrison Calloway, Dennis Good.\nOriginally released on MCA (31091).\nAll tracks have been digitally remastered.\nPersonnel: Jimmy Buffett (vocals, guitar); Ginger Holladay, Debbie McCall, Janie Fricke, Larry Michael Lee, Penny Nichols, Lea Jane Berinati (vocals); Steve Goodman, Tim Krekel (guitar); Greg \"Fingers\" Taylor (harmonica); Harvey Thompson (saxophone); Jay Spell, Mike Utley (keyboards); Farrell Morris (percussion).\nThe follow-up album to Jimmy Buffett's commercial breakthrough CHANGES IN LATITUDES, CHANGES IN ATTITUDES isn't quite as brash or atmospheric, but it's close enough that nobody seems to mind.
