Jerry Jeff also covered it and his is my fave.

And speaking of Jerry Jeff, I'd love to hear Jimmy or Jim cover "It's a good night for singing"

and I believe that one is by Jerry Jeff's bass player, Bob Livingston. Is that one on any cd? I'd like to hear Jerry Jeff sing that one.

I love Jim Morris's cover of Maybe Mexico. That would be a good Jimmy one too.

I've always wanted to hear a JB version of "Summer's Here" by James Taylor!!! BTW, the original has Fingers Taylor playing the harp!!!

i heard JJW version of barefootin...that would be a cool duet song for the both of them

son of a beach wrote:"Gorilla You're a Desperado" by Warren Zevon & "Apeman" by the Kinks would be great

That would be worth the price of admission

"Sweet Baby James" by JT

"Montego Bay" by Bobby Bloom

"The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog

According to Jerry Jeff's website it was written by Bob Livingston but unfortunately that album has never been issued on CD and is long out of print. I'm pretty sure it was one of the very first Jerry Jeff records I heard back in the day (on 8-track no less). I feel very lucky to have found a copy on vinyl at a local vintage record shop a few years ago.

I pulled out my vinyls and listened to "Good Night For Singing" last night. It is a great song and would be a great cover song for Jimmy. (I didn't realize how many songs on that album were never put on CD. It is almost all cover songs done in 1976. A good urn for sure.)

I also agree with the suggestion of "Barefootin." I loved Jerry Jeff's cover of that.

Another great one would be Keith Sykes's, "Those Were The Days!"

As I believe I mentioned earlier in this thread I just don't get the connection between Buffett and this song (aside from the obvious). "Esape (The Pina Colada Song)" was a piece of AM radio pop dribble, "Margaritaville," though a bit overplayed is a least a well written piece of material. Just my three pesos...

I heard a version of Jimmy & CRB from Sag Harbor.........I love the original and I loved the cover too

JB did "If I Had A Boat" at Jones Beach, I think it was in 2000.

you're probably right....I heard an "unauthorized" version.....dates/venue could have been off

I know he did a version of it at Jazzfest 2000 (according to the mp3's infotags from CoB,O).

Well then I do have it! I'll have to go find it. It's high time to straighten all the cds out anyway. Thanks

Thanks for clarifying. I must of totally overlooked that album when searchng for comps with "Singin'" on it the other day. The only problem with Jerry Jeff Best Ofs is there isn't room for all of our favorites on there. The man is in dire need of a box set.

You can find a lot of Jerry Jeff including 'it's a good night for singing' on musicmatch jukebox for 99 cents per song
