Free Music Notes for A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean
Free Music Review: Jimmy The Storyteller
Hit: 5 Stars
After recording two albums for the obscure Barnaby label, Jimmy Buffett made his major label debut with A White Sport Coat & A Pink Crustacean. The album's title shows the humor that courses throughout the album as it is a take off on the old Marty Robbins' hit A White Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation. Mr. Buffett is a pre-eminate storyteller and the songs on the album sound like you could be sitting at a bar listening to him hold court. The album starts off with the hilarious "Great Filling Station Holdup" which tells of a small-time robbery gone wrong. "Railroad Lady" is a great country song that has been covered by Lefty Drizzel & Willie Nelson. "He Went To Paris" is a beautifully sad song while "Grapefruit (Juicy Fruit)" is a fun and goofy song. "Cuban Crime Of Passion" is one of his first songs to incorporate the Caribbean sounds that would become his signature sound. "Why Don't We Get Drunk" has become a staple in his concerts and has become an audience singalong. "Peanut Butter Conspiracy" tells of a struggling musician who may or may not be Mr. Buffett himself. "They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More" is a slight song and the only weak link on the album. "I Have Found Me A Home" and "My Lovely Lady" are two nice ballads. "Death Of An Unpopular Poet" is one of his most underrated songs and a vivid tale of a poet and his dog. This was his first album that he recorded after he went to Key West for the first time and although it is mostly a country-folk album, there are glimpses of the sound he would become famous for.Free Music Review: this cd is stupid

I own have this one on CD and I have the original album. It is Buffet's best work. "Death of an Unpopular Poet" is the best Buffet song. This is a great CD that every Parrothead should own.Free Music Review: Too rock for country, too country for rock.

Jimmy still wears some of his Nashville influences on White Sport Coat, but looking at his stoned gaze on the cover, you know he's ready to party. Only Jimmy could make petty theft (Peanut Butter Conspiracy) seem like a fun thing to do. His flirtation with Carribean sounds starts to show up here with Cuban Crime of Passion. This was the beginning of his "core albums" That also include A1A, Havana Daydreaming, and 3/4 Time. It's all right there on "I Have Found Me a Home" He certainly did.Free Music Review: It doesn't get any better than this!
Hit: 5 Stars
The greatest of all Buffett albums. This is Jimmy at his peak. The songs such as "Great Filling Station Holdup" and "Carmen" are near perfect as can be. I can take or leave "Margaritaville", but I just can never stop listening to this CD.
