Son Of A Son Of A Sailor (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.

The follow-up album to Jimmy Buffett's commercial breakthrough CHANGES IN LATITUDES, CHANGES IN ATTITUDES isn't quite as brash or atmospheric, but it's close enough that nobody seems to mind. The showstopper here, is, of course, the amusing ode to conspicuous consumption that is "Cheeseburger in Paradise" (it's a food that Buffett assures us in the chorus is "worth every damn bit of sacrifice!").

But the torchy Nelson Riddle-ish version of Keith Sykes' broken-heart ballad "Coast of Marseillles" is almost as memorable. "Manana" has one of his best-ever singalong choruses ever, as well as a hilarious reference to comic Steve Martin that you really don't see coming.
