More and more people mention they love Jimmy Buffet stuff. Frankly, I find this quite troubling. Don't misunderstand, I've been a Parrot Head for a long, long time. Picked up the habit during college (in an entirely land-locked area) and have never laid it down with the exception of two times.
1. A Pirate Looks at 50. Read the book and kept wondering where the rest of the family was during their "trip together".
2. Swine Not. Picked up the book. Read the intro. Set book down.
OK, there was another time when I seriously considered retiring... after a search of all of his songs and how many albums were little more than re-do's of his classics.
But I always came back. So why am I more than a little concerned that I have been noticing how many people seem to be "discovering" JB of late? Because I fear they are picking up the habit from Margaritaville Radio. And to put it pretty bluntly, there are way too many flat recordings of his live shows. Folks, there is a reason for studios and editing! Just listen to his original recordings and then the live versions. You will quickly get the point.
So, for all of you newbie Trop Rockers, check out Margarita Mafia (Musicians, Artists, Fans and to save you time from searching (not to mention leaving a free hand for a margarita), here is a great way to discover the best that the genre has to offer: Margarita Mafia. Guaranteed to get you looking for beaches, bars and ballads.
And don't forget to check out one of the best: Brent Burns
OK, one more...
OK, one more one more... You CANT tell me this aint fun!!
and this ends my PSA (public service, not prostate).
