High Cumberland Jubilee is the second studio album by American popular-music singer and songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was produced by Travis Turk, released in 1976 on Andy Williams's small Barnaby Records label. This was second album that Buffett recorded, and was his final album with Barnaby, signing next with Dunhill. Following lackluster sales of Buffett's first album, Down to Earth, Barnaby Records would claim that the masters to High Cumberland Jubilee had been lost, hence it has been referred to as Buffett's "lost album." In 1976, after Buffett had left Barnaby and moved to Key West, released numerous additional albums, and become a star, the masters were finally found and the album released. Alternate versions A rare original variation has "Bend a Little" replacing "England" on side two (a repeat from side one, but with a slightly different mix), and "Ace" replacing "Travelin' Clean". Also, "High Cumberland Jubilee" continues to the end rather than fading out as on the standard version of the album. The longer version of "High Cumberland Jubilee" was used on Before The Beach. The 1998 re-release of the album contained an additional track, "High Cumberland Dilemma", which was recorded for but not included on the original album. Songs All of the songs on High Cumberland Jubilee were written or co-written by Buffett, many with Buzz Cason. "In the Shelter", which originally appeared on this album, was later re-recorded by Buffett, first for 1977's Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes when it was released as a single, and in 2002 for the greatest-hits compilation Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection, making it (with "The Captain and the Kid") one of only two of his songs with three different studio versions. "Livingston's Gone to Texas" was also re-recorded for the 1974 Living and Dying in ¾ Time. The version on High Cumberland Jubilee is played faster without country stylings and contains an extra verse, not in the 1974 version. The folk-rock style of music and lyrics on Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee differs greatly from Buffett's subsequent output. They have less of the country music feel and little of the gulf and western, Key West-influenced sound and themes that have defined his musical career. Allmusic reviewer William Ruhlmann noted, "this is not the freewheeling Jimmy Buffett of 'Margaritaville', but rather a thoughtful folk-rock singer/songwriter of the early '70s, earnestly strumming an acoustic guitar over a
