Title: Classic 'New Jimmy'
Review: As 10 year Buffett fan, first having been indoctrinated on 'Songs you know by Heart' I then got into newer stuff (Fruitcakes, Barometer Soup, and Banana Wind), and backfilled the older stuff and realized one thing. How do you classify Buffet? His work has continually evolved over his 33 albums, and this one is no different. This album is a fine mix of what has made Jimmy one of my favorites, his ability to alternate between fun/frivolous songs 9of varying genres) and more serious/thoughtful songs. JB seems to have 'grown up' a tad on many of the tracks with a heavier emphasis on his acoustic skills (Mademoiselle, Savanah, Someday I will, Tonight I just need my guitar) but also ventures into some new territory: An Enigma like anecdotal recount of his St. Barts hotel & a Zydeco song. If you strictly are an 'old school' Buffett fan, you may be dissapointed, but if you appreciate him as musician, lyricist, author, adventurer, etc. you can't go wrong with this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
