 (26 Customer Reviews)
As most devoted Parrotheads are well aware, Jimmy Buffett is no stranger to country music. Before he developed his trademark brand of Caribbean-influenced good-time pop, the sun-loving singer paid his dues on the Nashville circuit, eventually recording two albums of accomplished, if not particularly commercially successful, country rock (the best tracks from which were collected on 1994's BACK TO THE BEACH). With LICENSE TO CHILL, Buffett brings the cowboys to the beach, employing the talents of Music City's first-call studio musicians and superstar performers. Buffett's music is so comfortable that duet contributions from artists as diverse as Toby Keith, Nanci Griffith, and Bill Withers all sound perfectly at home. By applying island rhythms to country classics and combining steel of the pedal and drum varieties in a single song, Buffett has once again developed a new hybrid style that could perhaps be called "all-American world music."

Rolling Stone (p.116) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "The reassuring message is that getting older isn't all bad once you learn how to roll with the swell and, most important of all, chill out."
Rolling Stone (p.141) - Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "[T]he laid-back shuffle of songs such as the honky-tonk title track has earned him his first-ever Number One album."
Entertainment Weekly (p.79) - "Buffett's smart - he knows the country demo is his as well, and clever genre mash-ups like 'Conky Tonkin'' and the oldie 'Sea of Heartbreak' make this experiment work." - Grade: B Jimmy Buffett License To Chill Songs | 1. | Hey Good Lookin' - (featuring Clint Black/Kenny Chesney/Alan Jackson/Toby Keith/George Strait) |

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Different but still great.
It's true that this one is not for diehard Parrotheads. While there are some great "island" selections, this album shows Buffett's true versatility as an artist. His arrangements of traditional country hits are outstanding, and the talent that he shares his duets with really makes this a special album. Even he is entitled to try something new, I guess, and he really pulled it off with this one.

| | Barb Waters Rosa Duet CD (2003)
License To Chill music CDs
$11.39
Barb Waters has joined forces with some of her hometown musicians for some great duet partnerships. Featuring Cyndi Boste, Dan Warner, Kim Salmon, Lisa Miller & Rebecca Barnard, Rob Snarski, Matt Walker, Anna Burley, Nick Barker, Git and Ashley Davies, Rosa Duet is the Melbourne based singer- songwriter- guitarist's second album on Laughing Outlaw Records. The idea for this album grew from Barb's love of music that happens around the kitchen table or sitting out on the verandah, strumming an acoustic guitar and singing harmonies, sharing the simple pleasures of making music together. These co-penned collaborations have taken place far from the sterile recording studio environment; songs were written and sung with cups of tea and toddlers climbing onto knees. This is, after all, where whole traditions of good and real music come from - the warmth, community and domestic chaos of our home lives, the ideas and visions which grow from that starting point of pulling up a chair together, strumming a chord and joining voices with another's. The duet tradition had its heyday in the 1960s and 70s, with the great duet partnerships of George and Tammy, Porter and Dolly, Conway and Loretta, Lee and Nancy, Sonny and Cher, Gram and Emmylou. In the spirit of that tradition, and driven by her fascination with the duet form and her love of harmony singing, Barb Waters has led a duet revival in Melbourne, coaxing some of it's best singers and songwriters into stunning new expositions of the duet genre. Produced by Craig Pilkington, Rosa Duet is the result of several years of work. It features an abundance of homegrown talent, passion and creativity, meetings of minds and voices, inspirations freely shared and brought to Barb's kitchen table. We sure hope it brings much warmth and joy into your home too.PRESS:"Barb Waters' new CD Rosa Duet pays homeage to the legendary singing duos that influenced her as she was growing up. Waters has promoted this album as a sort of a "kitchen table project" and says most of it was worked out there, with the help of an impressive list of Melbourne musicians. Barb co-wrote nearly every track on the CD with local artists Cyndi Boste, Rob Snarski, ...
