Re: Thunder Island
It would be a disaster. He doesn't have the range for it no matter what key he put it in. Peter Mayer could do an excellent job with it though.

Re: Thunder Island
There are alot of things Jimmy could and does cover very well. Like Mexico, Window of the World, Tree Top Flyer, and of course Southern Cross. Glory Days, Trippin Billies, On the Road again ( though that should be easy for him!) not so good.

Re: Thunder Island
jimmy should start covering his own songs again,like the countless ones he never plays.

Seems to keep me moving around

I have my ups and downs"

Re: Thunder Island
Thunder Island is a great song.
Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWfYLrN5a08
As for Buffett doing another cover song, I'd kind of like to hear him cover John Prine's "Quit Hollerin' At Me".

Re: Thunder Island
Buried deep in my iPod, under "Boat Songs", I have "Thunder Island" and Jay Fergeson's other hit "Shakedown Cruise".
