Jimmy Buffett may have made his millions, but that doesn’t mean that he has eased up on his workload. After releasing 33 albums, mounting grueling annual tours, and fashioning an entire industry and lifestyle out of his signature song “Margaritaville,” Buffett trots out this two-CD collection. Yet, Meet Me in Magaritaville, which spans 30 years, isn’t merely a retread of his long, storied career. Buffett has written two new songs for the package and re-recorded six alternative versions of fan favorites (including a moving version of “The Captain and the Kid,” which he included for his ailing father, who died shortly after the album’s release). He’s also added two new cover songs–a spicy bossa nova version of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talking” and the Beach Boys’ “Sail on Sailor”–as well four live tracks, which shows the singer at his best, conjuring up his own Yuppie Atlantis, an idyllic place where no one has to wear shoes, the sun is always shining, the bar never closes, and Junior Mints are always available at every cinema. A must-have collection for every Parrothead (or aspiring Parrothead), if only for Buffett’s track-by-track descriptions. –Jaan Uhelszki

I agree with the Boykin. Buffett is only good for hippies and old people, and really, who cares about hippies and old people?

I have heard these songs over and over and over. Every time I do I want someone to take a spoon and jam it in my ears in the hope that I will not have to hear it any more. I would rather stab myself in the groin than listen to this man any more.

I am so happy you sent me this e-mail. I purchased this CD for my brother for Christmas and you sent me the wrong CD – I received something called WHORACLE by IN FLAMES which is not what I ordered and I am really disappointed and I would really like it if you would send me what I ordered, which is the Jimmy Buffett CD – THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION……… Please get back to me.
Thank you,

Jimmy Buffett has mastered the fine art of taking inane, simplistic lyrics and pairing them with catchy, albeit annoying melodic hooks to create a catalog of overplayed, ridiculous songs catering to the drunken, middle-aged professional. And some refer to Mr. Buffett as a “musician.” Wow. “Margaritaville,” “Fins” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise” are the trifecta of irritating songs. “Come Monday” had potential but he “rednecked” it on recording. How this entertainer (NOT musician) is so popular is beyond logical comprehension.
