Best cover by Buffett?

[JollyMon66]

What - no one has said "Mexico" - that's a pretty good cover.

[Papa T]

I went to a James Taylor concert a year ago and watched him sing it. Great song. While I love Buffett's version...I like the original a little better.

[pair8head]

I've never cared for Mexico at all.
Don't mater who's singing it.

I like Jamaica Farewell. the fact that it is sped up alot from when Belafonte did it seems to fit. Also like Begonias and City of New Orleans

[FinsUp777]

Another vote for Southern Cross

[changingchannels]

Dukes on Sunday
Mexico
Everybody's Talkin'
Jamaica Farewell
Mademoiselle Voulez Vous Dancer
Savannah Fare You Well
The Perfect Partner
Great Heart (from the live in Mansfield Tiki Time Tour)
Tiki Bar is Open (From the Tiki Time Tour)

[eccodiver]

I loved Tiki Bar Is Open also Banana Republics

Another vote for Southern Cross

I vote for Southern Cross. Love it live.

[Vaniir]

I'd have to say:

Uncle John's Band (this is a great song live also)
Southern Cross
Scarlet Begonias

[SMLCHNG]

Everybody's Talkin'
Jamaica Farewell
Mademoiselle Voulez Vous Dancer
Savannah Fare You Well

Love these. IMHO, I do not like Southern Cross. His "I have been around the world" just doesn't hit the notes, and makes me cringe.

[Dutch Harbor PH]

Tiki Bar is Open
Savanna Fare You Well
Reggae Accident

[HurricaneSeason]

as far as his newer stuff i like We Learned To Be Cool From You.

That would be great - if it was a cover.

Mac wasn't a Coral Reefer when It's My Job was recorded - and even still, regardless of that fact, any Mac song he does is a cover.

[pbans]

If we are naming worst covers..."Werewolves of London". He should have left that one with Zevon.

I concur....

Question for the group -

Has Jimmy ever done the John Prine classic "Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian"? I love this song and would love to hear Jimmy do a version. For those who don't know this song I've attached a clip.

I don't think I'd want to hear Jimmy do that one
Jim Morris does a pretty good cover of it.

[PackerPhan]

I would have to say Jamaica Farewell, and Southern Cross. I also liked the version he did of Once in a Lifetime at Alpine a few years ago.

[Patriotic Phlocker]

Hearing Jimmy do a "Big Old Goofy World" in Chicago two years ago was totally awesome and gets my vote!

yea that was my bad i was listen to RM and heard a different version that wasnt jimmy and thought that it was his. i should have done more research.

thanks for clearng that up.

I'd have to say:

Uncle John's Band (this is a great song live also)
Southern Cross
Scarlet Begonias

I was hoping to see Scarlet Begonias up here. I'm not a Dead fan in the least, but I really like his version of the tune. When I DJ, I play it quite a bit and all the Deadheads want to know who's doing this great version!

[Karacal]

Right now, my favorite cover is Rhumba Man...
