Everybody and their brother has had one by now, why not Buffett? One thing that would be cool to hear are the artists Buffett has covered (James Taylor, Willis Alan Ramsay, Bruce Cockburn, Jerry Jeff, Guy Clark, Jesse Winchester, etc.) returning the favor but a well done tribute CD wouldn't necessarily have to take that approach. Just for shits n' grins, here's a dream tracklist:

Little Feat-"I'll Play For Gumbo"
Harry Belafonte-"Volcano"
Michael Murphy-"Cowboy In The Jungle"
Jimmy Cliff-"Manana"
Jerry Jeff Walker-"Six String Music"
Rita Marley-"Island Fever"
Guy Clark w/ Fingers Taylor-"A Pirate Looks At 40"
John Prine-"Death of an Unpopular Poet"
James Taylor-"Margaritaville"
Todd Snider-"Peanut Butter Conspiracy"
Willie Nelson-"Livingston Saturday Night"

How about James Taylor doing “Come Monday” or "Tryin to Reason With the Hurricane Season"! And get Joe Walsh to do “Margaritaville”

It's been done. There's also a Blues Tribute but I can't find a pic.

I mean one that features artists that people have actually heard of and namely one that doesn't s***. The ones I've heard have done very little to add to Buffett's music, if anything they took away from it.

That's kind of the idea of this thread, to make up your own ideas of who you'd like to hear cover Buffett songs.

And you wonder why you have such a hard time getting along with people...

Be that as it may, you asked "Why not Buffett" in reference to tributes.

I simply answered your question.

Mexico was James Taylor's originally.

Or was this another question you didn't want anyone but a moderator to answer?

as much as you delight in posting about sometimes obscure artists and even you avatar is a band that not everyone has heard of or likes, It surprises me that you would step into mainstream musicland over obscure musicians. Also how do you KNOW that none of those tribute cd's don't s*ck. After all the majority of the people here thing your taste in music s*cks - but at least give it a listen before you say it s*cks.

Just offering my opinion as to why I think the majority of Buffett tributes I've heard so far s***. It doesn't have anything to do with getting along with people. Just offering my two cents, you don't have to agree with it.

I'm basing my opinion on the albums I have heard and made that clear in my original post. Want to start another useless p*** match over one person offering their opinion, then take it to a PM. In the real world we all have differing opinons and don't agree on everything, I'm not sure about the world you live in.

Just a friendly reminder, turn this into another let's bash Jahfin thread if you feel so compelled but it'd be a lot more fun if people made suggestions as to what artists they'd like to hear cover Buffett's tunes which is it's original intention. I know what you're thinking, "but what would be the fun in that?"

I think Kenny Chesney singing - Schoolboy Heart would be good.

WOW
Dude, they really dont like you.... kinda sad.
I thought the topic was interesting.
