JIMMY BUFFETT "buffett hotel" cd,2009.
almost exactly a year ago today since i heard my first complete Buffett cd courtesy of Major Tim down in Florida....thinking i heard his debut set that time and i loved it!
so when i got back here to Australia i decided to get myself a JB album,Corey didnt have the debut...infact JB has very little on offer down this way...not very popular which i find surprising as i thought he'd have been big here due to the similarities between us and the Floridanians(both have laid back lifestyles,the sun,the beach etc)...
so anyway, Corey recommended this one as being as close to the sound on his debut set from 1970ish...
i dont quite love it yet, but its getting up that way and had it not been for a couple of tracks that i dont like, then this would be a brilliant album of pop-cum-country-cum-surf sounds!
hadr to pick a best track but i opted for the tongue in cheek dig at modern America and its politics/international policies....
sorry for the lack of links here guys!
