Jimmy Buffett - A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean

When Jimmy Buffett recorded this, his major-label debut, he was neither a country artist nor a Los Angeles-style folk rocker, and he hadn't yet happened upon the beach-bum persona that has sustained him through the last quarter century of his career. Yet White Sport Coat contains forays in all these directions. It features some of his most enduring songs, such as the sweet, sentimental "He Went to Paris," "I Have Found Me a Home," and the outrageous "Why Don't We Get Drunk (and Screw)." There's a pleasant island breeze blowing on "Cuban Crime of Passion," while "The Great Filling Station Holdup" and "Peanut Butter Conspiracy" offer early evidence of Buffett's humorous storytelling abilities. It's a compelling, unpretentious disc and one of Buffett's best. --Daniel Durchholz Amazon.com

Classic and forever my favorite!

This was the first Buffett album I heard and it remains my favorite - he is a troubador in the finest sense of the word, traveling the country and telling our stories through music and song. Anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation for the ridiculous things in life will love this album and this artist! Parrotheads rule! June 24, 2008

Jimmy Buffett

Love the music. Had it years ago on LP, but needed to upgrade to CD. December 18, 2007

An old favorite back on the playlist

This is my favorite Jimmy Buffet album of all time (Changes in Attitudes is a close second), and I'm glad I finally got a CD to replace the vinal. But ya know, I actually kinda miss the pops and scratches from the old record. It almost doesn't sound right without them. But I'm going to enjoy getting used to the nice clean sound!

Jimmy Buffet- good stuff

I bought this cd for the song about the peanut butter robbery.. it's all good, it's Buffet! January 10, 2007

Spinning Yarns

I challenge you to name a singer/songwriter who tells stories comparable to this guy's. Carmen, Billy Voltaire, the Railroad Lady, Spooner, and Merrita, to name a few, are so rich in character. The songs really transport you to Havana, Miami, and the Keys; the songwriting has such depth! September 2, 2006
