| Jimmy’s Notes: From “Meet Me in Margaritaville”: I have always wanted to re-cut this song. When it was originally done, I didn’t even have a band, much less a horn section; and on the original recording, the arrangement that I wrote for the song featured the most predictable spot for a baritone solo, which came after the line “big baritones,” etc, etc. For some reason, my producer at the time filled the hole with a bass solo. It never really worked for me, so not, thirty years later, we did our horn solo as God intended it. We decided to re-work this arrangement and take it to New Orleans where it should have been all along. What a fun new groove! I added a little old Stratocaster rhythm direct into the amp like the old days. Hell, we all want to be Keith Richards every once and awhile. |
| Lyrics: I cut my teeth on gumbo rock Benny Spellman and Doctor John Sweet Irma Thomas and Frog man Henry Use to boogie woogie all night long Tho I love rock and roll the acoustic guitar was the only way I had of becoming a star I knew it recognized and traveling around But they won't play my record in my ol' hometown If I had saxophones Livin' by the ocean sometimes I get the notion If we had saxophones If we had saxophone |
