Athens Grease

I saw Jimmy Buffett in concert like 5-6 times in my teens/early twenties and those concerts were a blast, and the songs he played at those shows were all perfect for that setting — but all of the non-singles on his albums from the seventies are so good it’s insane

I really wish I appreciated him more to have had a chance to see him because he has some good stuff and seems he was a decent dude. Also read a paperback of his once and a surprisingly good airport read.

Guy basically made living telling people how awesome it was to be Jimmy Buffett, and people were like you know, he's got a point.

“My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don’t love Jesus” is a masterpiece of a folk country ditty

Having been to one of his last concerts can confirm that rizz was lifelong

oh yeah, he was a real one til the very end — but that mustache + long blond hair look he had throughout most of the seventies was 🔥

my mother is extremely partial to long blond hair and mustache Jimmy Buffet, she’s still devoted to him

This is where the term "buff" came from

The level of "stoned" in the top right is incalculable.

I hadnt seen older pics of him until recently and yeah, he was something. I only saw him once but it was a hell of a good time and I wish id seen him more.

he called it "gulf and western," and normally that sort of thing drives me bonkers but it's really the only description i've ever read that makes sense. i never pass up the chance to say HE'S FROM MOBILE bc it's vital to celebrate our good guys.

Living and Dying in 3/4 Time and Barometer Soup for me

semi-relatedly, I refuse to use the term yacht rock because the actual artists want nothing to do with it, and it wasn't coined contemporaneously not sure if we have good words for whole chunks of music/artists from the 60s-80s

I've never listened to a Jimmy Buffet album, but have eaten at Maragaritaville 😭 I should fix that.

(The eating at Margaritaville was not by choice. I was outvoted.)

Fun(?) Fact: I was literally eating at a Margaritaville when Jimmy Buffett died.

Just get Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads, and you'll be set.

I'm an albums kind of guy. I tend to avoid compilations until I've checked it all out.

Personally, I'd start with A1A, but White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean will give you more of his country era if you're so inclined.

Ответ для Antelope
Summer of Blanx

A1A or Living and Dying in 3/4 Time to start, I think.

Ответ для Summer of Blanx

Living and Dying in ¾ Time *on vinyl* is fantastic

Ответ для Antelope

a1a, white sport coat and a pink crustacean, living and dying in 3/4 time, all great starters

Cliff Buck

He played Woman Goin Crazy on Caroline Street when I saw him in 2010. I almost lost my mind.

oh shit, that would be fantastic

Hah! I had a good friend deeply into Buffett in high school. That’s interesting you saw him so many times at that age.

Ответ для ycats
Athens Grease

my parents were into him and Atlanta was a huge tour stop for him. like 100 people from my high school would go to his shows; it was like a summer tradition lol

I'll do you a favor and NOT post the pics I have of us from those shows.

He’s a good friend. I’m just going to picture it myself.

We're all in ridiculous floral shirts with foam shark hats and doing keg stands. He's, of course, in a fully tailored suit sipping a martini.

He was in a tux at Red Rocks or maybe I was just really high

Can confirm. I was there!

He was an insanely talented songwriter

A1A is so very fucking good

it’s an all-timer — but I think I might like Son of a Son of a Sailor more? idk

Hard to argue. Cowboy in the Jungle is a goat song

Ответ для Joe

dude, yes; might be my favorite song of his overall

Ответ для Athens Grease

I saw the man like 10-12 times, who can remember, and never got it live. Which I think proves just how good it is, lol

Also, under 40 minutes long. A perfect album

Cocaine Jimmy was top notch & A1A holds up perfectly.

I prefer my musicians a little sleazy, tyvm, and A1A is top notch

That he was friends with John Prine makes a ton of sense

I can’t help singing “This Hotel Room” any time I walk into a…well, you know. Quietly turning my whole family into Parrotheads to varying degrees is one of my proudest accomplishments.

Watched Rancho Deluxe recently cause I recalled my parents liking it and the new Charley Crockett record covers the the theme tune Buffett wrote. It’s a damn nice song. He could write.
