I'm still on the fence with this one...thanks to all who provided feedback on it. I like some of the songs and enjoyed the movie, just haven't pulled out the credit card for this one yet. What are your thoughts?

I haven't bought it yet, but Savannah was nice enough to play the CD on her Sirius show on Saturday for my drive home! It sounded pretty good!

I like it.

You can't really call it a JB album.

I like the JB songs except Barefootin'. I really like Wondering Where The Lions Are, the new Floridays cut, and Good Guys Win. The Werewolves of London track is 'ok'. My kids like Back of The Bus (and I have to admit, it's catchy) and we all like Brie Larsen's song, Coming Around.

The final track, the instrumental number, is really nice where all the players take a turn soloing, the steel drums especially sweet.

So, if you can adjust your playlist to exclude a few tracks, you'll really like some of what the album has to offer.

I like it, beginning to end. But I admit, I'm pretty easy, and there's not much musically I don't like.

My kids love it as much as the movie, and the most requested are #8 and #10... Coming Around, and Good Guys Win.

For some reason I wake up every morning with "all the cool kids in the back of the bus" running through my head. I sing it while packing lunches, and put it in my kids' heads!! :lol: :lol: (edit: there it is again! shalala shalalalalala!)

Highlights for me are the new Floridays, and the last song, the instrumental Happy Ending... love it! (I believe Jake is on it, and Tom Ball's harp sounds great!!) I also like the Maroon 5 version of Lovely Day - very catchy to me!

I really like the whole collection... it's a variety of sounds, but to me, they're all good! :D

I bought it but I should have waited for iTunes to get it. There are only 3 or 4 songs on it that I like enough to listen to again.

I'm glad I found it for $9.99. I think $14-$15 would be too much. If you can wait to buy the 4-5 good songs on itunes you are better off.

I bougght it. If it were just the music, I probably would have bought five or six of the songs from iTunes. But I wanted the liner notes on this one.

I got it. I enjoy it quite a bit, my keets also enjoy it. Barefootin' is my 4 year old's newest favorite song...

I bought it and except for one song I really like it. I wasn't sure if I'd like the new version of Florida's but it has really grown on me.

I bought it, but wish I would have just ordered the JB songs off of ITunes. The album was in my car for three days, but I decided that it wasn't worthy enough to be in my cd binder so I put it on the shelf. Sorry Jimmy, but this goes right up there with DSTC.

Well worth the money. Heck, I've paid more for worse CDs. Several of the songs are already in heavy rotation on my iPod and yes, the 'keet like a few more. (She like Zevon's Werewolfs better though....lol...and Good Guys Win is a bit slow for her, but she likes it overall.)

Wondering Where The Lions Are and Good Guys Win
are great. But Werewolves of Lon-Don is aweful. Still a good CD :)

I bought it the morning it came out. I loved the movie and you spend a majority of watching taping your feet. I love all the songs, especially "Barefootin'" and "Good Guys Win," all of them are very catchy and make me happy cause when I hear the song I remember that specific part in the movie. Its worth at least checking out on itunes.

My love of Jimmy leaves no debate....I will buy every one of his CD's...even if it only contained 1 song of his I would buy it...

This is a site filled with Buffett fans....fans should buy the music...

Haven't bought it yet. But since we have all of the other ones (that we can find anyway), I am sure we will be purchasing it soon--maybe after we see the movie!! :lol: BTW, I wasn't so sure that this would be a film that I would really want to see, but after viewing the trailers on TV, I am sure that we will be there sooner or later!
