The darn show is 5 hours long. I'll never make it.

And yes, WGAR Cleveland is streaming it live. I'm sure others are as well. I just listened to Jimmy talk a bit about appearing for the last 22 seconds on It's Five O'Clock Somewhere and playing the song live.

The 3 compilations are the highest selling albums? Man that bugs me... . BBBB has only sold 1/4 the number shown since it's a 4-disc set. That's correct. For purposes of certification it has sold 4 million (certified on 7/3/01). In terms of actual sales, it has sold roughly 1 million. From the RIAA...

Scarlet Begonias for obvious reasons (see below). But, I also enjoy (in no particular order): Coast Of Carolina Trip Around The Sun (the best duet on the album in my opinion) Coastal Confessions Piece Of Work Boats To Build Simply Complicated There's only one track I can't stand - skip it every time...

Perhaps. Too bad my iPod count doesn't factor in. I've listened to Hey Good Lookin' 64 times since I got the CD in May and License To Chill 7 times since Friday.

We still have three (maybe more) Media Play locations in Columbus, Ohio (Hamilton, Dublin, Morse). They sometimes have great deals. And sometimes they charge gasoline-like prices. I got the new Ozomatli disc for $7.99. I got the Dave Matthews double live disc that was recently released for $12.99 (B...

Agreed!

I posted a full review for LTC on my web site. Check it out if you are so inclined... "Am I country, pop or rock 'n' roll?" Jimmy Buffett asks on his 39th album License To Chill. Billed as a country album and distributed by RCA Nashville, License To Chill and its unprecedented promotion ha...

For those of you who love numbers... The Media Base 24/7 7-day charts shows Jimmy's Hey Good Lookin' is about 450 spins off pace for the top 10. http://www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/Charts.asp?format=c1R&showtopn=500 Between July 4 and July 10, Hey Good Lookin' garnerd 2553 plays (up 161 from ...

That's too good of a deal to pass up. In that case, forget Mailboat.

According to the weekly sales circular in the midwest and east region, License To Chill will be $11.99 at Best Buy on Tuesday. $11.98 at Target. $9.99 at Circuit City. Interestingly, Media Play (Sam Goody and Best Buy sister company) didn't even advertise the release. Personally, I'd rather support ...

Yeah, it's too bad he isn't more successful. Let's review the RIAA certifications: The top 3: 1. SYKBH - Multi-platinum (6 million) 2. Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads - Multi-platinum (4 million) 3. Meet Me In Margartiaville - Multi-platinum (2 million) The next 5 (in chronological order of milli...

I got it last night at a local used CD store. There's the key right there. Forget flukes at Best Buys and such who may accidentally place copies early. Become friends with your local indie or used record store owner. They generally get their new releases on Thursday or Friday prior to the release. ...

Confirmed...License To Chill is on store shelves and has been delivered to a few mailboxes.

Scans on my web site right now.

I've just added another little surprise for people who visit my site

I wrote a quick blurb for my blog about RCA getting behind License To Chill in a way I don't ever recall MCA doing for any of Buffett's releases. At any rate, I did a little "research" combing through about 10 years worth of Billboard magazine and actually came across a few nice ads from t...

That was exactly my thought. Never judge a book, er, album by its cover.

Oh well...any press is good press.

USA Today's Whitney Matheson has named License To Chill's cover the fourth worst of the summer. "Not only did Jimmy come up with one of the lamest record titles of the summer (and possibly fodder for some Beastie Boys legal action!), his cover snapshot reaches new levels of cheese. Although foo...

Jimmy Buffett & Company have moved up one spot on the All About Country Hot 40 chart to number 10.

"Hey Good Lookin'" moves up one place to number 11 on the Radio And Records survey.

Forget the tailgating before. Plan on tailgating afterwards. It takes, what, 184 days to get out of that d@mn place
