 (1 Customer Review)
"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.
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.
Personnel: Jimmy Buffett (vocals, guitar).

Superior Jimmy Buffett, and a nice mix of the rowdy and the reflective. Representing the former are the opening "Making Music for Money," a bluesy lament about commercialism that rocks about as hard as Buffett gets, and the hilarious "Door Number Three," a mock country song (co-written with folkie Steve Goodman) about Monte Hall's '70s game show "Let's Make a Deal."
More introspective songs include the self-explanatory "A Pirate Looks at 40" and "Trying ...

Jimmy Buffett's second major label album is rather '70s-mellow, although songs such as "Brand New Country Star" and "The Wino and I Know" begin to hint at the tequila-swilling beachcomber character to come. The big selling point here is Buffett's ...

Coconut Telegraph music CDs
$7.19
From its immortal opening line--"I took off for a weekend last month just to try and recall the whole year"--to "Landfall," the hard-rocking sailing ode that closes it, this is the Jimmy Buffett album that most definitively sums up his Pirate Of The Caribbean beach bum stoner pose. The classic here, of course, is "Margaritaville," which, despite its ubiquity as a party anthem, is nonetheless one of the best written and most perceptively observed story songs this side of Ray Davies; if you can't recognize at least a part of yourself in it, you probably should check your pulse.
Nothing else on the album is quite this sublime, but there isn't a song that doesn't work on some level. The ...

Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24 karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.
Jimmy Buffett's major label debut (the title takes off from a sappy piece of late '50s teen pop by country singer Marty Robbins) is a bit more folky and laid back than you might expect. There are hints of the rowdier Buffett persona to come, but by and large this is early '70s mellow singer-songwriter stuff, albeit with cleverer than usual lyrics.
Highlights include "Death of an Unpopular Poet," a delicately arranged story song about a poet whose posthumous success leads, literally, to the dogs; "They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More," a nostalgic remembrance of '40s big-fruit wearer Carmen Miranda; and "My Lovely Lady," an enthusiastic ...

The Eagles are, without a doubt, one of the most influential American bands of all time. Direct from L.A., these musicians brought together various influences and melded them into a sound that established a new musical direction in both rock and country.
The songs on this "best of" compilation cover the Eagles' early years (pre-HOTEL CALIFORNIA) and they pack a wallop. From the spooky, ...

After reading Stephen Anderson's extensive liner notes, which describe his classical training and his technical ideas for each of his originals, one might come away thinking that his music must be dry, overly clinical, and dull. Fortunately the complete opposite is true. Anderson offers a fresh new voice on the piano ...
