JIMMY BUFFETT -- A1A (1974)
Editorial Review:
All Music Guide
Before Jimmy Buffett became a novelist, entrepreneur, and founder of a business empire, he was a prolific singer/songwriter and a great storyteller. In the song "Migration," which chronicles his failed first marriage and his subsequent move to Florida, he sings "I got a Caribbean soul I can barely control and some Texas hidden here in my heart." This perfectly describes the music of Jimmy Buffett, who incorporates steel drums, harmonica, and slide guitar to tell stories about life by the sea. While many of the songs for which he is famous involve a life of leisure told with a keen sense of humor, Buffett is more thoughtful than your average beachcomber. In fact, the best moments on this album are the slower tunes such as "A Pirate Looks at Forty" where a reflective Buffett looks back at his lifelong love of the ocean and his place in the universe. A-1-A may be Buffett's most autobiographical album, as he sings about making music on his own terms in the opening up-tempo "Makin' Music for Money" and tells stories of his idyllic childhood in "Life Is Just a Tire Swing." As with most of Buffett's work, his stories convey the importance of enjoying life, living free, and doing as you please. This is one of Jimmy Buffett's classic '70s albums that established his persona, and it is a perfect introduction to his music. -- Vik Iyengar

JIMMY BUFFETT -- A WHITE SPORT COAT AND A PINK CRUSTACEAN (1973)
Editorial Review:
All Music Guide
While it still lies much closer to Nashville than Key West (like in the boisterous slide guitar solo that lights up "The Great Filling Station Holdup"), Jimmy Buffett's A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean does begin to delineate the blowsy, good-timin' Key West persona that would lead him to summer tour stardom and the adoration of millions of drinking buddies everywhere. "Why Don't We Get Drunk," "Railroad Lady," and "Grapefruit — Juicy Fruit" rightly became crowd pleasers. But Buffett reveals himself a storyteller with the touching sigh of "He Went to Paris," where a slide guitar appears again to lend a subtle gleam to the arrangement, or in the gorgeous, sweetly sad tale of a passed-away poet's unlikely posthumous success. It's in this wide-eyed honesty, as well as the winking sarcasm of the scrambling honky tonker "Peanut Butter Conspiracy" — "We never took more than we could eat/And we always swore if we ever got rich, we'd pay the mini mart back" — that Buffett's flair for easygoing accessibility really emerges. White Sport Coat has to be considered country and western music; its rambling acoustic guitars, twinges of harmonica, fiddle, and peddle steel will do that. But Buffett himself was a Nashville outcast almost from the beginning, and his southward migration began with this album. "I don't want fame that brings confusion," he sings in "My Lovely Lady," and declares his desire to get out of the Music City rat race for the more temperate climes and crab meat of the Florida Keys. Once there, the songwriting ingredients drifting through White Sport Coat and other early LPs caught the Caribbean breeze and really took off. This is highly recommended for Buffett completists and those interested in his more introspective side. -- Johnny Loftus

JIMMY BUFFETT -- HAVANA DAYDREAMIN' (1976)
Editorial Review:
All Music Guide
Buffett's best overall collection of songs yet bears the influence of Steve Goodman, who wrote "This Hotel Room" and cowrote "Woman Goin' Crazy on Caroline Street." But a personal favorite is Buffett's own "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Don't Love Jesus." -- William Ruhlmann

JIMMY BUFFETT -- CHANGES IN LATITUDES CHANGES IN ATTITUDES (1977)
Amazon.com essential recording
Buffett sold his promise as a real-world singer-songwriter God knows how many boats ago, but 1977's Changes remains one of his last stands before plunging into a sea of parrotheads, "Fins," and personal empire building. "Margaritaville" was the deceptively lighthearted hit, but Steve Goodman's "Banana Republics" and the title tune also raised an eyebrow at the worlds Buffett encountered in his 100-proof-fueled travels. Yet soon the empire would overtake the wit and ego would subsume his creative reach. --Rickey Wright

JIMMY BUFFETT -- VOLCANO (1979)
Editorial Review:
After 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

JIMMY BUFFETT -- COCONUT TELEGRAPH (1981)
Editorial Review:
musicoutfitter.com
A mellower than usual album for Buffett, but entertaining as always. Highlights include the title song, a very funny calypso-tinged look at how gossip gets around, with Buffett sounding oddly like Levon Helm."Incommunicado" is a mournful meditation on mortality that references mystery writer John MacDonald and eulogizes John Wayne, while "The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful" is one of Buffett's best endless party anthems. There's also a totally straight reading of the old standard "The Stars Fell on Alabama," and "Little Miss Magic," an uncharacteristically sentimental folkie ode (with just guitar and harmonica) to his newborn daughter.

JIMMY BUFFETT -- SOMEWHERE OVER CHINA (1982)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Sales of new Buffett albums continued to slip with "Somewhere Over China" as nothing on this disc got much if any airplay and the album tanked at the cash register. It remains one those albums that many Buffett fans do not own. It is a pretty average album for Jimmy, but there are a few gems to be found on it. All of the songs were written by Buffett except for the final two tracks "Steamer" and "Slow Boat To China". Of the originals highlights include ""Where's The Party" whose lyrics suggest that the party life may not be all its cracked up to be. "Its Midnight And I'm Not Famous Yet" may be one of the best songs about Las Vegas ever written, and rocks harder than Buffett normally does. The title track "Somewhere Over China" is another good one telling the story of a world weary traveler. "I Heard I Was In Town" is a great little country tune with clever lyrics. This album has a melancholy feel to a lot of it especially compared to the good time party tunes of many of Buffett's other works. It is one of Buffett's most overlooked albums, but worth owning if you are a fan. -- Steven Sly

JIMMY BUFFETT -- ONE PARTICULAR HARBOUR (1983)
Editorial Review:
All Music Guide
For many listeners, Jimmy Buffett's late-'70s work left something to be desired. The head parrot had gone domestic and albums like Somewhere Over China and Coconut Telegraph seemed more like afterthoughts than inspired artifacts. Against this backdrop, One Particular Harbour (1983) was something like a comeback, with Buffett's best batch of songs since Son of a Son of a Sailor in 1978. Mellow ballads with a soft rock production like "Stars on the Water," "California Promises," and "Twelve Volt Man" presented the former party animal as a thoughtful dreamer. There are also pleasant pieces like "Distantly in Love" and "Why You Wanna Hurt My Heart?," which find Buffett in a confessional singer/songwriter mode. Of course, it wouldn't be a typical Jimmy Buffett album without a couple of humorous songs. While "I Used to Have Money One Time" is a bit obnoxious, "Honey Do" and "We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About" tell fun tales about being single and growing older. The album also has a bouncy version of "Brown Eyed Girl." One Particular Harbour may not qualify as classic Buffett, but it did prove that he still had a thing or two to say after the party was over. Like Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, it's also the type of album that's perfect for a weekend getaway at the beach. -- Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

JIMMY BUFFETT -- RIDDLES IN THE SAND (1984)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
It is not often that the Peter Pan goodtime songsmith displays a more serious and realistic bent in his songwriting collections..but this was such an occasion.We all know and love the songs by heart....but this was a mixture of country influenced,calypso Gulf stream beats with some lyrics that were conveying that even Jimmy can have personal downs and that the *Wild Life Can Betray You*and Jimmys right hand woman was *Going Out Of his Life*. This ranks amongst my favoutite JB collections,it is personal and Jimmy shows a sensitive grasp of the world as well as mixing it with his usual dose of insanity that shows us all that the world shouldnt really be taken that seriously after all. This does not immediately lend itself to the blind devoted parrothead,because quite frankly Jimmy could just about do anything and they would find it amazing.If you have some experience in life and have followed him since Before The Beach ,days this is a must have.What has made Buffett so entertaining and such a survivor,is his ability to truely capture a moment and write witty humorous *life* songs.He has done this in spades here. The standouts on here,are *Come To The Moon*,*Rag top Day*and the beautiful,*When The Wild Life Betrays Me* and *Down On the Knees Of My Heart*and *Shes Going Out Of My Mind*.If you are a parrothead put the CD in perspective by realizing he was having marital problems at this time..he is very much human!!!This is just as personal and perceptive of life as *Coconut Telegraph*. As with every review of a JB CD, everyone has a different opinion and his music effects everyone differently..I love this CD,I will always play it..I think Jimmy achieved his goal...buy it and maybe it will work for you to..5 stars from the master court jester....with the human touch. -- Lance G.

JIMMY BUFFETT -- SONGS YOU KNOW BY HEART (1985)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording
Critics have always been singularly unkind to Jimmy Buffett. Or 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 Orleans. By now, you've made up your mind as well: To paraphrase Buffett himself from his song "Volcano," you either lava him now, or you lava him not. Songs You Know by Heart is a friendly little best-of collection that features concert perennials such as "Margaritaville," "Fins," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," and the immutable "Why Don't We Get Drunk." If by some chance you've not yet been introduced to Buffett's music, this album is the best way to say hello. --Daniel Durchholz

JIMMY BUFFETT -- FLORIDAYS (1986)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
"Floridays" is another one of Jimmy's albums that often seems to get looked over by fans, but there is some really strong material to be found here and it deserves more respect than it gets. This is one of those albums that does not blow you away upon first listen, but rather creeps up on you the more you give it a chance. Several of these songs have a lot of subtle charm that you don't necessarily catch right off the bat. "Creola", "First Look" and the title track "Floridays" all fit this category. When I first heard the album I did not really like any of them, but now they are some of my favorite tracks on the album. "If It All Falls Down" is the only cover tune on the album, but it fit's Jimmy perfectly. "No Plane On Sunday", and "When The Coast Is Clear" are both solid songs. The highlight of the album has to be "Nobody Speaks To The Captain No More". Buffett has a history of songs telling the stories of colorful senior citizens and this one ranks right up with his best. The lyrics are rather sad and depressing which is not typical of most Buffet songs, but this one is a very poignant piece of music. The only real weak points on the album are the opening and closing tracks "I Love The Now" and "You'll Never Work In This Business Again". "Floridays" is definitely one of Buffett's most underated albums. --

JIMMY BUFFETT -- OFF TO SEE THE LIZARD (1989)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Off To See The Lizard was released in conjunction with Jimmy Buffett's first literary effort, Tales From Margaritaville. The book contains expanded versions of several of the songs included on the album. As the book suggests, the songs have a literary quality and are amongst the most well constructed and written in his career. "Take Another Road" is great as is the jaunty "Boomerang Love", the wistful "I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever", "Pascgoula Run" and the memorable title track. The album is the last truly great record he has made. -- Thomas Magnum

JIMMY BUFFETT -- FRUITCAKES (1994)
Editorial Review:
All Music Guide
The best thing about Jimmy Buffett's Fruitcakes is the perpetually over-served Key Wester's Howard Beale impersonation on the album's title track. Like many of us, Buffett is angry about enormous movie theater sodas, crazy people walking around with mud in their eyes, and the screwy nature of modern religion and relationships. His gripe is delivered via a half-spoken ramble over a typical Caribbean lope that's as forgettable as it is recognizable. The song works not because it rehashes the same temperate groove, but because Buffett's rap sails so close to the infectious on-stage persona that's become his five-star meal ticket in recent years. The album's other standouts work for the same reason. A pastel cover of the Grateful Dead's "Uncle John's Band," the jaunty "Vampires, Mummies and the Holy Ghost," and "Lone Palm," which looks at life from under just such a tree, all ring with that faded T-shirt vibe so prevalent in Buffett's best work. Along with the touching daughterly tribute "Delaney Talks to Statues," these slices of Fruitcakes further the fantasy of landlocked Parrotheads everywhere, the one that makes that final margarita okay, banishes winter to an old tin can, and shakes white sand into every crevice of the office cubicle. Earnest ballads like "Love in the Library" are nice, but Buffett's cheeky rhymes and effectively simplistic playing just can't support them with the sophistication — or seriousness — they deserve. His Panama Jack pirate act is a one trick pony, no question. But it has limitless legs and is continually sold on the fact that everyone wants to be Jimmy Buffett some of the time. Fruitcakes' most memorable morsels make this wish come true, if only for a few surf-soaked minutes. -- Johnny Loftus

JIMMY BUFFETT -- BAROMETER SOUP (1995)
Editorial Review:
All Music Guide
Having gotten back the record-making habit with Fruitcakes, Jimmy Buffett repaired to the Monroe County Library in Key West during the winter of 1994-1995 with cohorts Russ Kunkel, Jay Oliver, Roger Guth, and Peter Mayer, where they read fiction and came up with most of the songs on Barometer Soup. Hence, we have "Remittance Man," drawn from Mark Twain's Following the Equator, and "Diamond as Big as the Ritz," loosely adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story. Typically, there are also the comedy numbers "Bank of Bad Habits" and "Don't Chu-Know" and an appropriation consistent with Buffett's philosophy, James Taylor's "Mexico." Much of the music is low-key, though there are a couple of up-tempo tunes to add to the concert repertoire. As Jimmy Buffett albums go, this is another one. -- William Ruhlmann

JIMMY BUFFETT -- TAKE THE WEATHER WITH YOU (2006)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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 or his own mortality--taking well-aimed potshots at everything from cell phone culture to ancient Greek history to the threat of terrorism, as on the sharply ironic "Party at the End of the World." But having said that, all the unrest exhibited in these 14 songs makes for a far more interesting album than he's made in over two decades. Reflective, unstinting, and often nostalgic, the musician changes the tempo and the subject matter, swapping his usual languid island exhortations of alcohol and brief bikini tops for the fascinating emotional ambiguity of "Whoop De Doo," or the simple charm of "Nothing but a Breeze," which seems so autobiographical it's hard to believe that Buffett didn't write it. But the standout track is his chilling cover of Mary Gauthier's "Wheel Inside the Wheel," revealing exactly what kind of demons have been residing under the singer's ever-present baseball cap. --Jaan Uhelszki

JIMMY BUFFETT -- LIVE IN ANGUILLA (2007)
Editorial Review:
All Music Guide
The two-CD/one-DVD set Live in Anguilla is part of Mailboat's long line of live Jimmy Buffett releases, and even if this contains many of his familiar standards, there's a new twist here. This was a concert recorded in an intimate setting, at the bar of reggae vocalist Bankie Banx in Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla — a very cozy surrounding for a singer/songwriter who often plays much larger venues back in the states. Just over 3,000 concert-goers were able to attend and they paid for the privilege, but the money was turned over to charities and the set was documented for the Parrotheads back home. Those Parrotheads will find this set to be appealing — not too much different from the standard Buffett set, but there are a handful of songs previously unavailable on a Buffett live album, and there is an appropriately relaxed vibe here that makes for a good time. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine
