Album Poll #4: Living and Dying in 3/4 Time

[Parrot Monkey]

Because I depart for my 4 day vacation down island tommorow, I thaught I'd start the next album poll 2 days early.

This is for Jimmy's altogether 4th album and 2nd commerical release, Living and Dying in 3/4 Time. It's the album that gave birth to Jimmy's first hit, Come Monday.



The winners so far:

DTE – The Captain and the Kid
HCJ – In the Shelter
AWSCAPC -Cuban Crime of Passion

I went with "West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown" over the sentimental favourite.. Just so you know.

[Sidew13]

Wino and I know
West Nashville was a close second

[sailingagain]

"The Wino and I Know" gets in with a slight nod over "The Ballad of Spider John".

[Mr Play]

Brahma Fear - that was my favorite song when I was living on my dad's boat in college.

[VB for Buffett]

Diffacult decision between Ringling Ringling, Brahma Fear, The Wino and I Know, Spider John, and Brand New Country Star.
Great record, one of his best!@#$%^&

[conched]

Gotta be Wino and I Know eventhough all of them are great.

"Just like a fool when those sweet goodies cool; I'll eat till I eat way too much."

"Living on things that excite me...be it pastry, lobster or love."

Never can remember the lyrics to songs. Guess those are quoted right. Tell me if I'm wrong.

[VB for Buffett]

Sounds right to me.

I picked Saxophones... maybe because the first version of Saxophones I ever heard was on Meet Me in Margaritaville... and this version is different, and I'm not tired of it yet... I dunno..
I also like The Wino and I Know... thats my #2 of the cd.
God's Own Drunk, Pencil Thin Mustache and Ballad of Spider John round up my Top 5 for this cd.

I have heard all of these songs live (via Bootlegs/RadioMargaritaville) except for Ballad of Spider John... anyone know if he's ever done that one live? And If he's ever not done a song live? (I.E. He's never performed X song live.)

[HsvParrothead]

Wino and I know --- But apparently I'm the norm on this one
BUT I have done door to door sales, I can relate to a p'up truck rustin, and I'm just tryin to live on things that excite me be them pastries, lobsters or love .... SO guess thats alright then

I went with "West Nashville..." too... great song!

[SilverDolphins]

I went with West Nashville as well. 3/4 time is my all time favorite album. Of every album ever made in the history of music recording. It was given to me for Christmas one year by my parents. The year was 1977, I was 12.

I can honestly say that I LOVE each song on that record.

[PARROT HEAD MIKE]

I tell you I was very surprised at the resultes so far. I voted fot The Ballad Of Spider John. The Wino and I know is in 2nd so far and I really like this song also, but Come Monday is in 1st. Who voted this # 1 the same people who write his set list.

[Bamafan]

Hard to choose but i picked Brahma Fear. Awsome song that i wish Jimmy would play sometimes.

I've heard every song off of this album live except Brand New Country Star and i'm sure it was played sometime in '74 during his many acoustic shows. As for Balled of Spider John, the last time it was played was East Hampton 2000. Jimmy does a very good job on it as well.

[Wino you know]

See my screen name.

[countrified]

gotta agree with the wino that you know...especially after a night at the herminoff wineries in good ol' washington missouri!!!
/drunk and posting at 3:30!!!!

Why do you think it was a hard choice between West Nashville and ...

[DejaLola]

Although there are some fine lyrics on Wino (esp the "lobster or love" line), I voted Pencil-Thin just because it's such an upbeat, smile-inducing song.

[land_shark3]

Such a tough choice. I love the "Saxophones", but the newer version with horns. "Wino and I know"; great song. But I went with "God's Own Drunk" even though I prefer the live version on "You Had To Be There"
