Floridays (the original, not the reggae version from Hoot )
When The Coast Is Clear
If It All Falls Down

...Then from other albums you have these AWESOME songs:

Far Side Of The World (on the album by the same name)
Uncle John's Band, Quietly Making Noise* (found on the "Fruitcakes" album)
Landfall (from CiLCiA)
Livingston Saturday Night* (SoaSoaS)
Pacing the Cage, Semi True Story , Lucky Stars (Beach House On The Moon)


...Just to name a few. BTW, this: * , is a song (that we don't hear often) that will be played on this week's RM concert reply.. check it out!

Creola is a good song, Also, Love in the Library, Love and Luck. I also have a cd made by a friend of obscure Buffett songs you won't find on any album!!

I've got one of those too with the "a**hole song" and "Some white people can dance".

. . . This Mississippi cracker just keeps getting blacker. . .

Triggering the debate as to whether or not JB actually did the a**hole song.

I don't see this mentioned very often but one of my favorite albums is "Hot Water".

It's maybe a little to 80's influenced at times but it's one of my fovorites!

Maybe...if you don't count Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee.

I wouldn't count High Cumberland Jubilee...lol....it's one of my least favorite. It does have one, maybe two songs I like....but most I can turn off with no problem.

All a matter of opinion! (Ibut I do agree with A1A as being in the top 2).

And many I haven't heard yet.

You remembered Boomerang Love that time Garry!!

Distantly In Love too.

As a listener for almost 15 years, I have just heard SYKBH for the first time through earphones. And not a fancy pair, just the standards that came with my iPod.

I've listened many a time through the home stereo, and more times through the crankin' car stereo, but never with earphones.

Now, I know I'm going deaf a bit, but I heard things today that I've never heard....from SYKBH. The nasal sound of Jimmy in Cheeseburger. Then the nasal-less sound of He Went to Paris.

My first album was Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads...and through my knowledge of those songs I've been able to sing along with almost every song at any concert I've been to, but let's not bash SYKBH.

Only Time Will Tell is my favorite 'first-song' from any album I can think of, Jimmy or otherwise. So if you're making a 'mix-tape' I would recommend it be first.

Just know that you'll have your own favorites, and that you should give each album at least three plays. It took me a while to warm up to Beach House on the Moon...I think it was the Gumbo that kept me coming back.

Remember, the first one's free!!

Don't forget the live albums. You'd get some great versions of songs on SYKBH and songs you might not have heard before.

As mentioned above, you'll get different answers from everyone here. Some like the country sounding Jimmy, others like the tropical Jimmy, etc.

My favorites are Migration, No Plane On Sunday and That's What Living Is To Me.

The Box Set will give you a pretty good introduction.

wow- great responses

thanks for all the songs and keep it coming!

RM played "A$$ and the Hole" yesterday. Probably not the song referred to here, but it lead me to Mac's site. That song, with Jimmy singing, is on his Word of Mouth CD, which I found (and bought) on Amazon for 50 cents! I'll add that song to my list of odd Buffett recordings.

Floridays
Quietly making noise
and my favorite for the time being (changes like once a week) Dreamsicle

I love that song! Don't know why it hasn't been used in a sound track for a movie, and I really would like to hear Jimmy play it in concert too.

No.

As someone already said, no he didn't. At least there's no official comfirmation of it. The song was written by Fred "August" Campell and recorded by his group August and the Spur of the Moment Band.
