Live in Anguilla»rank: 226by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: :A Jimmy Buffett concert on a tropical island. Just walk down the beach for a once-in-a-lifetime intimate performance from Margaritaville's favorite son. That's what a few thousand fans got to experience at Jimmy's Caribbean shows on March 23 and 24, 2OO7. Now everyone else can, too. A double CD and an 82 minute DVD were recorded live at the Dune Preserve, Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla, in Bankie Banx's backyard and the site of ...

Songs You Know by Heart : Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hit(s)»rank: 828by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: essential recording:Critics have always been singularly unkind to Jimmy Buffett. 0r at least they have since the singer became immune to their jabs, commanding a nation of Parrotheads who sell out his shows, snap up his records and books, and eat and drink in his nightclubs in Key West and New 0rleans. By now, you've made up your mind as well: To paraphrase Buffett himself from his song 'Volcano,' you either lava him ...

Meet Me In Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection»rank: 660by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: :Jimmy Buffett may have made his millions, but that doesn't mean that he has eased up on his workload. After releasing 33 albums, mounting grueling annual tours, and fashioning an entire industry and lifestyle out of his signature song 'Margaritaville,' Buffett trots out this two-CD collection. Yet, Meet Me in Magaritaville, which spans 3O years, isn't merely a retread of his long, storied career. Buffett has written two new songs for the package and ...

Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads»rank: 1706by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: essential recording:When Jimmy Buffett eventually becomes the subject of a college course--and given his enduring popularity as a singer-songwriter and author, you know he will someday--here's what'll be on the final exam. Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads is so named because the four-CD collection divides Buffett's collected works among those categories, giving each disc a theme. From early classics such as 'Biloxi' and 'Come Monday' to more recent fare known only by the ...

Urban Cowboy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack»rank: 2655from: Elektra / Wea
0ur opinion: :The aim was to do for country what Saturday Night Fever did for disco. The result was that bars from Kona to Kalamazoo suddenly had mechanical bulls, and slickers walking around in cowboy hats. You might also pinpoint this as the moment in time when 'country' music suddenly went cosmopolitan, paving the way for Garth Brooks. Johnny Lee's 'Lookin' for Love' was one of the decade's biggest singles, and this album briefly made a ...

License to Chill»rank: 2118by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: :Country music's infatuation with the puka-shell rock of Jimmy Buffett has been one of the genre's less fortunate indulgences. Most of Nashville's hat acts do little more than dip their toe in the water and do nothing to build upon Buffett's signature sounds. That's why License to Chill, which features a plethora of Music City guests (Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Clint Black, George Strait, Martina McBride, Toby Keith) along with Bill Withers and Nanci ...

Take The Weather With You»rank: 5307by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: :What you see is rarely what you get with Jimmy Buffett. While he may contend that he is the king of slackers, a modern day Dean Martin whipping up fizzy rum drinks under the palm trees in a silk Hawaiian shirt, this best-selling author and raconteur is actually the thinking man's party animal. His deceptively breezy lyrics and lazy charm belie a shrewd social commentator and a man not at peace with his world ...

A-1-A»rank: 1914by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: :Jimmy Buffett's albums are almost always happily hedonistic, but every now and then even he admits that there's hell to pay for all the high jinks. 0n A1A, an album named for the coastal highway that ends just blocks from the singer's onetime home in Key West, Florida, that realization comes in the form of 'A Pirate Looks at Forty' and 'Trying to Reason with the Hurricane Season,' which acknowledge the onset of a ...

Living and Dying in 3/4 Time»rank: 4439by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: :Jimmy Buffett's third album, Living and Dying yielded the hit single 'Come Monday,' which still ranks among his finest compositions. As wistful and romantic as that number may be, the dominant feeling of the album is gentle good humor, as on songs like the richly detailed 'Brand New Country Star,' the nostalgic 'Pencil Thin Mustache,' and a recitation of the Lord Buckley tall tale 'God's 0wn Drunk.' Buffett approaches country & western-style topics on ...

A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean»rank: 3902by: Jimmy Buffett
0ur opinion: :When Jimmy Buffett recorded this, his major-label debut, he was neither a country artist nor a Los Angeles-style folk rocker, and he hadn't yet happened upon the beach-bum persona that has sustained him through the last quarter century of his career. Yet White Sport Coat contains forays in all these directions. lt features some of his most enduring songs, such as the sweet, sentimental 'He Went to Paris,' 'l Have Found Me a Home,' ...
