What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my son-in-law (cd)



Jumped ahead about 20 years from the last Buffett to pick up with this 27th album. Wonder if he'll stick around. Still sellig some music, with this one going gold and making #4 on the pop and #1 country. Still don't get the country, but whatever, he should have a Caribbean pop chart. Best thing on here for me is the leadoff Bama Breeze. Song about a bar Jimmy used to frequent back in the day, back when he had roots. He's ripped them up now to live wherever he chooses. One other great track with Cinco De Mayo In Memphis, with all the others being good. Jimmy has resorted to mostly covers for this one, with only 3 tracks showing writing credits. Title track is a Crowded House cover which is the worst thing here for me. Good song but just doesn't seem to fit with standard expected Buffett. Some artists just can't shake that pigeon hole.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Weather With You

Best Track - Bama Breeze

At the Bama Breeze
You can shoot some pool down there
You can act a fool down there
You can play it cool down there

At the Bama Breeze
You can drink some beer down there
Argue, laugh, and cheer down there
Pass another year down there

Jimmy got caught smoking a joint
Out behind the bar
Sittin' in his car
And they took him to jail
The tip jar paid his bail

In 1984 Mick Jagger
Passed through town
Bought the house a round
Signed his name on the wall
In the Ladies bathroom stall... yeah

At the Bama Breeze
I turned 21 down there
Had too much fun down there
Stumbled out with the sun down there

Saturday Night the Bouncer Grady
Lets the ladies in free with the fake I.D
And the short-enough skirt
Yea figures what the hell could it hurt

Second set the owner Lulu
Get's up with the band
A beer in her hand
And sings "Freebird" slow
Then she raises a toast
Here's to Ronnie and the boys
Now everybody make some noise!

At the Bama Breeze
You're one of our own down there
You never drink alone down there
Good God I feel at home down there

At the Bama Breeze
You're one of our own down there
You never drink alone down there
Good God I feel at home down there
