Buffett's New Album!

[finland]

Yes, it comes out before the new tour! Called Songs of Saint Somewhere!

[surfpirate]

Well we don't know the album release date yet ....
but he did say he was going into the studio after these 3 Florida shows
and that both the album and the 2013 tour were tentatively called
"Songs From St. Somewhere"

[conched]

Nice!!!

I hope he puts more work into the music than he did into coming up with the title.

That would be the 2013 Tour

[Wino you know]

This will probably make Matt Hall happy.

Oh, I see a magical island running amuck with scantily clad girls and boys carrying lots of beverages and being directed by a fully blished-out duck.

"blish" (n) a state of ignorance induced by imbibing frozen drinks on a beach

I could see one particular duck imbibing in that!

Songs from St Somewhere is a nice title, and for me, fitting right now as I really would love to fly to St Somewhere away from the cold and the snow. I'm looking forward to the new album.

I hope he goes a little old school on this one...a few throw back styled songs with 3/4 time or changes influences. Yes I'm old but I think that's what has been missing in the last albums.

Is this new material or a compilation of old songs?

I wouldn't hold my breath. I've been hoping Buffett would return to the style of his earlier albums (meaning A White Sportcoat and A Pink Crustacean, Living and Dying in ¾ Time, A1A, etc.) for quite some time now but to his credit, he continues to push onward and upward, often with very mixed results. That isn't always a good thing as sometimes it leads to him trying his hand at rap and very cringeworthy efforts such as "Party At the End of the World" (yes, I realize some people like that song but I don't count myself among them). To his credit, at least he can't be accused of relying on his laurels. For instance, I never would have thought a song like "Mademoiselle Voulez-Vous Danser" with a heavy dance beat would have worked for him but given the subject matter of the tune, he's actually able to pull it off.

To the best of my knowledge it's a new album however I could understand why someone would think it's a compilation with a title like "Songs From St. Somewhere". I know it's not a very popular opinion but I believe it to be the least inspired album title of his entire career. Your observation only helps to reinforce that belief. However, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a bad record. I'll make that call once I actually hear it. Even though I tend to be more of a fan of his earlier work, I usually have no problem finding something to like about his latter day stuff.

It is a brand new album but Jimmy is also reportedly been working on project to release some re-discovered lost songs called "Buried Treasure". However there is now word on the status of that project

If there is "now" word on the progress of Buried Treasure, what is it? Since we haven't heard a thing about it since that 2011 USA Today article I figured it had joined the fate of Coastal Confessions and other projects he's mentioned but never actually delivered.

Probably meant "no word on the status..."
