After Far Side and Beach House I gladly welcomed LTC, getting back to a fun and a more tropical sound. Plus his voice sounded better than it did on the prior 2.
I hope he stays on this track minus the extra guest artists which I liked but do not feel it should be overdone.

Getting back to the subject of Hoot and the original question, I don't think it will be considered a proper Buffett album since, like Rancho Deluxe before it, it's music intended for a film. That's not to say some of the songs won't be able to stand on their own. They very likely will but that remains to be seen until we know more about the soundtrack itself.
For Buffett's follow up to License To Chill I'd just love to see him do whatever he wants to do just as he's always done.

I would be thrilled to see a soundtrack for
Hoot deliver Buffettesque music as strongly as
O Brother, Where Art Thou delivered bluegrass. It would be great if it was entirely Buffett tunes, but if not, I would be happy to see them include tracks from some of the Coral Reefers, as well as the likes of Jim Morris and the other "Islandy" artists linked on 12vmanRick's website:

You're such a pimp.

While I'm more than happy to pimp Rick, it's really just more of a nod to him for grouping them nicely together, and me being too lazy to type them all out. Plus it's win-win, in that it's easy access to all of their websites!

I predict that Jimmy's next album will be a cover of great Heavy Metal songs:
Enter Sandman
We're Not Gonna Take It
Highway To Hell
Chop Suey
Aces High
Crazy Train
Livin' After Midnight
Hair Of the Dog
Welcome To The Jungle

What makes you think Buffett is so inclined towards massive record sales? Some of the people he worked with on License To Chill aren't exactlly household names (Will Kimbrough, Sonny Landreth, Nanci Griffith, Bill Payne, etc.) but that didn't affect sales of that record. As far as Buffett being a fan of the artists I mentioned I'm not sure about that either but I do know he's covered songs by Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, Will Kimbrough, Rodney Crowell, Gregg Allman, Jerry Jeff Walker, Willis Alan Ramsay and the Neville Brothers. He's also worked with a number of those artists in the past so for him to work with them again is not totally out of the question. As far as Buffett never collaborating with any other artists on his albums, it's painfully obvious you haven't done your homework on the matter. In the past Buffett has worked with: Steve Winwood, Roy Orbison, the Neville Brothers, Steve Goodman, Jerry Jeff Walker, Vassar Clements, the Oak Ridge Boys, James Taylor, Janie Fricke, and countless others. Were they duets in the manner of License To Chill? Not always but they were collaborative efforts nevertheless.
sure, they were "collaborations" by deffinition but its not like he put on the back of the albums "duet with James Taylor"

That is completely beside the point, those artists are still credited in the liner notes.

WARNING: STUPID QUESTION
I know this probably has been asked before, but is "Hoot" based on a book? By whom? If we knew the storyline of the book or screenplay, we could then make guesses about the music based on what the story is.
END OF STUPID QUESTION, you are now free to move about the room.

Read the article under News for all the answers... but it's a Carl Hiaason kid's book.
There are no stupid questions...

tanks TikiBar, going to Amazon to look up said book.

Looked it up....one scene looks like it has FUNNY written all over it: porta potties that have had alligators put in them by the kids trying to stop development. Is this a kid movie? If so, I have absolutely NO idea what the soundtrack will sound like!

I'm not sure if it's going to be aimed at kids but the novel apparently was.
