Hello Phruits

I know Jimmy's cover of "Southern Cross" is on numerous live albums but one of my buddies asked me if Jimmy ever recorded a studio version of this. I told him no not that I am aware of but I just figured I'd post it on here just in case there just so happens to be a studio version out there

Not that I'm aware of.

Theres an Idea for a new album.
Doing studio versions of the songs he has covered in concert.
His studio work is sooo good!!

I hate it when bands do that. It always seems like they ran out of ideas for songs.

I don't know. I've heard him do Lyle Lovett's "If I Had a Boat" with and without Lyle Lovett and I thought it was fantastic. Great song. Personally, I love Southern Cross as well...even better than the original!!!

A jimmy Buffett cover album would have to include;

Southern Cross
Scarlet Begonias
All along the watchtower
If I had a Boat
He did a cover of a Johnny Cash Song last year in Vancouver, WA
I can't Remember what it was.
Mac the Knife without Frank Sinatra
What else????

Jailhouse Rock
Lighthouse
Wind Cries Mary

saw him do "In my life" by the beatles a few weeks after sept 11th. It was such a great songs so fitting at the time. Also saw Horizon has been defeated by jack Johnson last year in vegas. It was much better than the original.

In my opinion, 2 of his best covers

For the CD that has only the songs that he has done on concerts but not in Studio CD these are the songs that would/could be on it

Its 5 Clock Somewhere
Southern Cross
Heart of Gold
Sea Cruise
Glory Days
These next couple i am not sure about but here it goes...
Lovely Sea Cruise
In the City

The Cash song was "I still miss someone" Other songs could include tripping billies, horizon has been defeated, gentleman of leisure

Purple Rain would have to be incuded. He did a few bars of Purple Rain at Nissan 2004 and then broke into WDWGDAS. He was really doing a good job at Purple Rain too.

Not sure why that bore repeating since I said pretty much the same thing in my post.

You would have to include "No Woman No Cry" from the Club Trini Live CD although a studio version may not be as good.

I think its my job thought you were saying that "5:00" was already on an album, which as you said it is. I think he meant it as Jimmy and Mac doing it as they do in conerts.

Add Glory Days to that list.

I don't know if I'd want an all cover album for the reasons aero said at the beginning of the thread, plus a lot of the time the concert versions have so much more energy, that it would be as much fun to hear a studio version of his covers that rock the crowd at concerts.

I was saying it was already on an album, Alan Jackson's, just as "it's my job" did. The way it was worded it was though I'd said it was on a Buffett album. I don't get the "Mac and Jimmy" reference as nothing was said about that at all by either of us.

Add city of New Orleans to the mix as well!

I'd like to see this one as well! I also enjoyed him doing "heart of gold" at the 10/29 Vegas show and w/Dave Matthews at the "From the Big Apple to the Big Easy".

I think "imj" wanted it to be a studio of just Jimmy and Mac, without Alan Jackson. In concert when Jimmy plays 5:00 Somewhere Mac takes the place of Alan Jackson and sings the 1st and 3rd verses and Jimmy takes the 2nd, hence the Mac and Jimmy reference.

I don't really like the idea anyway and hope he never does it.
