Free Music Review: Good, but get the box set or 'Meet Me In Margaritaville' instead
Hit: 4 Stars
Jimmy Buffett is a legendary island rock performer. His unique voice and his backing band, The Coral Reefer Band made some of the best music of the 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s, and he is still making great music even today.
Buffett has numerous compilations released, and this is, hands down, the best single disc collection on the market. All of the songs the really casual Parrothead will ever need are here. 'Margaritaville,' 'Cheeseburger In Paradise,' 'Come Monday' and 'Volcano' all appear on this 1985 set.
And, the sound quality is superb!
However, I can't recommend this for the average Parrothead. As a longtime Parrothead myself, I think there should be much more material here. For example, how come we don't have an album track like 'African Friend' here? That's one of the best songs from the 1978 'Son Of A Son Of A Sailor' record.
So I am warning you: If you are a true Parrothead, you'll definitely want more Buffett. My advice would be to get the box set 'Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads,' from 1992 or 2003's 'Meet Me In Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection.' That's my advice.
But if you are a new Parrothead just looking for a cheap, nice entry point, than definitely check this out. Overall, this is highly recommended for the casual Parrothead.
Recommended for the casual Parrothead.
Songs You Know by Heart : Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hit(s) Poster
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 DurchholzCountry Music CDs
