Free Music Notes for Take The Weather With You
Free Music Review: Wonderful, laidback, breezy, classic Buffett!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am enjoying "Take the Weather With You" more each time I listen to it. This is a great, mellow, laid back, breezy feeling Jimmy Buffett CD. If you are expecting a re-hash of "License to Chill", then you may be dissapointed. But for us diehard Buffett fans who have loved Jimmy's stuff for years, this is what it's all about.
This CD reminds me of two of my favorite Buffett albums ("Barometer Soup" and "Banana Wind"). It has that same, light, tropical feel, and if you love those CD's, then you will definately enjoy this release (or vice versa. If you don't own "Barometer Soup" or "Banana Wind", then I would highly recommend buying them as well).
I love most all of the tracks on this CD. But there are 3 or 4 tunes that really standout as classics to me. First of all, the best track on the CD is the amazingly haunting "Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On". This is a very touching song dealing with Hurricane Katrina and it's effects on the citizens of New Orleans. The other tracks that really stand out as favorites are the remake of "Take the Weather With You", "Nothin' But a Breeze", "Duke's on Sunday", and "Wheel Inside the Wheel". "Wheel Inside the Wheel" is another song relating with New Orleans, and is a great mixture of Big Easy culture, sound and mysticism. All of these tracks are true Buffett gems.
The only ones that I find myself skipping over most times and not caring that much about are "Elvis Presley Blues", and "Whoop De Doo". The Elvis song is just kind of "fluff" to me, and "Whoop De Doo" is just kind of boring. Also, "Cinco De Mayo in Memphis" has a great sound, but lyrically doesn't really make too much sense to me. But I can easily overlook those 3 tracks, as everything else is really outstanding.
I highly recommend this CD to any longtime Buffett fans, or anyone who wants to know what Buffett has traditionally been all about. Also, some of the recent country fans who were brought in with the release of "License to Chill" may find that when they delve deeper into true Buffett material like this, that they are won over as well. This is a perfect CD to put on in the car on a breezy summer day and just "chill". Classic Buffett, in a laid back style. Great job Jimmy!
Take The Weather With You Poster
Take The Weather With you returns Buffett back to his country foundation with breezy ballads, interpretations of alt-country songs, a version of Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings" and mariachi horns in "Cinco De Mayo In Memphis." A tribute to the historic bars along the Gulf Coast in "Bama Breeze" is flavored with sublime Southern riffs, and Buffett fulfilled a dream of playing with Mark Knopfler, who wrote and guests on "Whoop De Doo." Jimmy's first country release, the now platinum License To Chill, debuted at #1 on both the country and overall soundscan charts. This album features Mark Knopfler, Gomez, Jake Shimabukuro, Bill Payne, and Sonny Landreth. The album was recorded in Key West, Muscle Shoals, and London.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
