JIMMY Buffett is a major musical superstar in America and this new double CD release proves his musical worth. In 1970 his first folk/rocksounding album Down To Earth gave him recognisable success, although at the time he could still be found busking in New Orleans.

It was probably a trip to Key West in 1971 that developed the rest of his writing and recording career effecting tales of beaches, boats,bars and beautiful women.

He moved there shortly after and began establishing his sound and easy going beach-bum persona for which he has become known.

This new release conjures up a musical treat of his lifestyle in Florida Keys with titles like Coconut Telegraph, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor, Nautical Wheelers and One Particular Harbour.

Now aged 67, Buffett proves that he is an entertainer who has no problems. The album is filled with the smile factor with a good feel throughout. As for value for money, the listener is treated to 20 tracks on each CD. It’s Jimmy Buffett at his best and worthy of a place in anyone’s CD collection.
