Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes (CD)

A genuine American original, Key West troubadour Buffett mixed Hank Williams with Xavier Cugat, and in the process introduced Caribbean rhythms to the staid musical denizens of Nashville. After a stretch in the basic (yet eclectic) singer-songwriter vein yielded a 1974 hit ballad "Come Monday," Buffett found his trademark mellow Key West groove and the 1977 hit ("Margaritaville") that would launch a cottage industry which even included a restaurant chain. While the singer often played up his one-hit wonder status, he has enjoyed a long, storied and varied career, as well as the enduring loyalty of his fans, otherwise known as "parrotheads." A 2004 star-studded country album brought him a surprise chart-topper and even more fans.

Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida and Quadraphonic Sound Studio, Nashville, Tennessee in November 1976.

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 overall atmosphere here is palpable; you can practically smell the tequila and salt air.
