http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/cd/rev...asp?aid=2048400 Of the many reasons why middle-class white boys such as Eric Clapton and Aerosmith flocked to the music of older, impoverished black men in the 1960s and early 1970s, here is one of the best: The great bluesmen were also great pop songwrit...

The Grateful Dead had way more than one hit. Besides "Touch of Grey", "Casey Jones", "Truckin'", "Friend of the Devil", and many others have all received significant radio airplay over the years. The Velvet Underground are in because of their influence alone, ...

I really doubt that the Rock and Roll HOF is in Jimmy's future (not enough "mainstream" appeal plus debate over is he country/is he rock n' roll, etc.) But I recently found out that there is a Songwriters Hall of Fame. I think that would be definitely the place for Jimmy. http://www.songw...

I don't think the Hall of Fame is running out of inductees. By the same token, I don't think Buffett will ever be inducted even though he did the honors for the Eagles when they were nominated. By the way, record/concert grosses don't figure into the criteria used when nominating artists. From the R...

"Stars on the Water" isn't a Buffett original, it's by Rodney Crowell.

I know this isn't news to everyone because I've seen it mentioned in passing here but this is the latest on the situation from Billboard.com: http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000471151 Jimmy Buffett, George Strait and Alan Jackson have scheduled a one-off mega co...

Jimmy Buffett doesn't have a patent on mixing island sounds with country music. He might the most successful one at doing it but he's by no means the only one that's tried.

Todd Snider has done a punk rock version of "Margaritaville" and Bob Dylan has covered "A Pirate Looks At 40".

From Billboard.com: http://tinylink.com/?fpGGqLdKTc Rare early recordings by late folk singer Jim Croce and country singer/songwriter collective the Flatlanders are finally becoming available to the masses. Released today (March 23) by Shout! Factory, Croce's "Facets" is an updated version...

See the curtains hangin' in the window, in the evenin' on a Friday night. A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything is alright. Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind. Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my ...

Funny someone should mention Jimi Hendrix. One of the first times I was listening to their first album a friend of mine thought it was Hendrix.

Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road

Yesterday morning an ill wind came blew your picture right out of the picture frame even blew the candle out from underneath the flame Yesterday morning an ill wind came.

They can go on calling themselves "Van Halen" because Edward Van Halen is the leader of that band, just ask Sam or Dave. I prefer Dave-era Van Halen. Sure, they had a string of hits and enjoyed their biggest commercial success when Sammy came on board but their sound shouldn't be confused...

this winter's song I'll sing along I've searched its still refrain. I'll walk alone if given this take wing, and celebrate the rain. I used to think, as birds take wing, they sing through life, so why can't we? we cling to this, and claim the best if this is what you're offering I'll take the rain, ...
