Whenever an artist tours without an album to promote, I go into it with the hope that they'll take that opportunity to dig deeper into their catalog, which they often do. Jimmy doesn't ever really go down that path. Which is a crying shame, especially when he has such a vast catalog to draw upon. I...

The thing with Buffett, is that he's been covering other people's material for nearly as long as he's been recording albums going back to "Ballad of Spider John", "Defying Gravity", "Making Music For Money", "Stories We Could Tell", "This Hotel Room"...

I very seldom buy t-shirts at shows (unless it's smaller ones) as the prices are outrageous. Oftentimes, I purchase them through the artists' website if they're available as the prices tend to be much lower. There may be some exceptions but I think the tour shirts don't usually get offered on the a...

I'm not as sensitive about 'covers' as some people around here. Frankly, lots of people are songwriters, but not performers. A few of the ones he's written in recent years s***, especially the music, so maybe he needs a little help. If he can find a song that fits his style, and he has the chops to...

Buffett's the co-writer so it's technically not a cover.

I can remember when I used to attend anywhere between 3-5 concerts a year at Walnut Creek (probably more in it's early years) but at this point, I haven't attended a concert there since 2008. Part of the reason is the expense but a bigger reason would be that they rarely have any artists on the rost...

I thought the tour shirts were only available at the shows.

Believe it or not, I don't think I've heard Night After Night, Imma have to check that one out. Still so many selections missing from my Jerry Jeff collection even though I probably have over a dozen or more of his records.

I've always loved this one from Live At Gruene Hall:

The use of YouTube really surprised me but I found by clicking the YouTtube settings and setting the player for 720 HD it made things better. I'm not sure why it would be considered unusual. When Jason Isbell taped his Austin City Limits appearance last year, the taping was aired live and uncut on ...

Just got free tickets to the Mac show in Atlantic City June 7th. Anyone going? Any word if Jimmy is showing up? I suspect it would be a surprise if Buffett shows up. Most be kind of painful for folks like Mac, when they have a night off from tour to perform on their own to have the prospect of Buff...

Thanks

I don't know what the "best" one is but this is definitely my favorite.

No worries. Not sure if it's the case here but with so many folks accessing the web via mobile devices these days I think they miss a lot.

If it's being broadcasting through a computer (or a TV), there's always a way. Not being a tech geek, I'm not sure what it is but if there's a signal in the air (or via a cable), there's a way to capture it.

I usually don't wade into these things, but a "No sh*t Sherlock" response to someone who was politely helping someone else who politely asked a question (she even apologized for not being too tech savvy and thanked those who helped her when they didn't make fun of her) is just ridiculous....

"The question we should be asking isn’t whether country music sounds like Merle, Buck or Hank. The question is whether the music being written, recorded, performed and promoted today is worthy of those giants." Hell No, We Won’t Bro http://media.tumblr.com/5bd783e28c93107513be8c1bc1bdb7ff...
