This is an excellent question. I think Piece of Work would be a great follow-up to Hey Good Looking. It's really upbeat, and it continues the feel-good nature of HGL. I think Sea of Heartbreak or Coast of Carolina have some real potential as singles, but I'm not sure about the timing. Not knowing everything that factors into the decision, it'll be really interesting to see what comes next.

I think it will be License to Chill. They started to release that one a while back, but canned it all of the sudden. With the summer in full gear, this one could be another 5:00 Somewhere!

I agree -- they will give it another try! I hope Coast of Carolina gets some radio play..it's my favorite song, but I"m sure "Trip Around the Sun" will get on there. I like "Conky Tonkin' too.

Nice Scarlet Begonias too!

There is no doubt, The single should be Boats To Build. I think he did it with Allen at the Dallas show. That song was GRRRRREAT (said like Tony the Tiger)

Coast of Carolina would be nice. As long as it's not another duet.

From a marketing standpoint, I think it would be wise to release a track that is NOT a duet so the average country fan that isn't a huge Jimmy Buffett fan will understand that the album isn't ALL duets.

But after that I'd like to see Boats to Build, Sea of Heartbreak and Trip Around the Sun all get airplay too.

I think the next release will be very telling. I'd hope they'd pick Coast of Carolina. It is one of the strongest songs on the CD and it is Jimmy on his own. If it is another duet, I'd say that shows that have little faith in Jimmy standing alone (which shouldn't be right).

I predict License to Chill. This song has to come out during the summer, and we're hitting the middle of summer. I think Boats to Build will be the 3rd single. Got to capitalize on the success Jimmy and Alan have had together.

I predict Coast of Carolina never hits airwaves. Like most of Buffett's best songs, this one will be for Parrotheads only. Shame others won't get to hear how good it is. By far the best song on the album.

...and does anyone know if "Oh S***" gets said at the end of "Simply Complicated"? Sounded like it to me.

"Window on the World" is one of my faves but I doubt it would get airplay.
Not a big fan of "Coast of Carolina", maybe because I'm down in Florida.
Now, Coast of Northeast Florida, there's a winner!! :lol:
