Editorial Review: Amazon.com: What you see is rarely what you get with Jimmy Buffett. While he may contend that he is the king of slackers, a modern day Dean Martin whipping up fizzy rum drinks under the palm trees in a silk Hawaiian shirt, this best-selling author and raconteur is actually the thinking man's party animal. His deceptively breezy lyrics and lazy charm belie a shrewd social commentator and a man not at peace with his world or his own mortality--taking well-aimed potshots at everything from cell phone culture to ancient Greek history to the threat of terrorism, as on the sharply ironic "Party at the End of the World." But having said that, all the unrest exhibited in these 14 songs makes for a far more interesting album than he's made in over two decades. Reflective, unstinting, and often nostalgic, the musician changes the tempo and the subject matter, swapping his usual languid island exhortations of alcohol and brief bikini tops for the fascinating emotional ambiguity of "Whoop De Doo," or the simple charm of "Nothing but a Breeze," which seems so autobiographical it's hard to believe that Buffett didn't write it. But the standout track is his chilling cover of Mary Gauthier's "Wheel Inside the Wheel," revealing exactly what kind of demons have been residing under the singer's ever-present baseball cap. --Jaan Uhelszki Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Typical JB!To me, this is a typical JB CD. The tunes are all laid back and relaxing; but leave me in a better mood than before. I am very happy with this CD. One can NEVER get enough of JB's island sounds!!! Rating: - Jimmy Buffett - Lot's Of Cover Tunes But A Pleasent SurpriseI had mixed feelings when I purchased Buffett's most recent CD "Take The Weather With You" mainly because of the amount of cover tunes on the album. Of the 14 tracks on the album only 4 of them are new compositions by Buffett. The rest are covers of other peoples songs albeit mostly obscure non hits. After giving this a bunch of listens I have to admit that Buffett won me over with this one. Buffett has always done other people's stuff on occasion and has always been good at picking songs that fit his style. This album is no exception as he really chose well here for the most part and makes the songs he did not write his own. Of the four originals "Party At The End Of The World" is one of the better ones. It is a typical light hearted ... Read More: Rating: - This one's a keeperI never know what to expect from a Buffett album. sometimes I can pop it in and listen straight through and love every song. and sometimes there's one song or two I like and the rest are strictly fast forward numbers. sadly there have been fewer keepers than there used to be and I finally realized one reason when I was scanning the credits on this album. I've missed Fingers Taylor more than I knew I would. It's great to have him back. I've always found that the songs I love are usually the ones with the harmonica wailing in the background. I've found myself humming the songs from this album even when the CD wasn't on, which means they've stuck with me. and that hasn't happened in a while. Some of the reviewers ... Read More: Rating:  - Another great get-away...take the beer with youEasy on the ears, you'll be down a 6-pack before you know it (and before it's over). This album is bracketed by two of his best, and you will be happy with the outcome. Rating:  - Not his bestI love Jimmy Buffett - I own all of his albums. This one is okay - sort of like Barometer Soup. 1 or two good songs, and the rest are just okay. |
