Product Description

After two early LPs failed to chart, Jimmy wrote the song-his Top 40 hit Come Monday that put him on the easygoing path to fame. This 1974 LP has that plus Pencil Thin Mustache; God's Own Drunk; the Ballad of Spider John, and more!

Amazon.com

Jimmy Buffett's third album, Living and Dying yielded the hit single "Come Monday," which still ranks among his finest compositions. As wistful and romantic as that number may be, the dominant feeling of the album is gentle good humor, as on songs like the richly detailed "Brand New Country Star," the nostalgic "Pencil Thin Mustache," and a recitation of the Lord Buckley tall tale "God's Own Drunk." Buffett approaches country & western-style topics on "Livingston's Gone to Texas" and "Brahma Fear" without succumbing to the blandness of de rigueur Music City product. "West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown," meanwhile, has to be considered the definitive song of debutante rebellion. It's a thin field, admittedly, but a song worthy of the title nonetheless. --Daniel Durchholz

Rounding out my Buffett collection with one of the last studio albums that I didn't have. Has a few classics on this album and lesser known, but nonetheless good to very good, material. Now if I can just find The Last Mango in Paris album.

I give all these Buffett CDs four stars-5 stars for the music but a one star deduct for the packaging. The CD covers/sleeves are not the originals. These are a second run of the producing of these CDs. I like to be able to read the covers like an album jacket-these have a generic look to all of them with no information on the inside about album production, lyrics, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buffet's Best
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2007
Verified Purchase
I was first introduced to this album while working in a record store in Oklahoma in 1974. The original album cover, which folded open to reveal a stylized map of Key West, made Buffett and Key West seem exotic to me. Having lived in Florida for nearly twenty years now, the Keys no longer hold the mystique that they once did, but the pristine orginality of this album stills shines through clearly. This album represents Buffett's art long before he attained the near universal fame that he now enjoys. While I have enjoyed many of his more recent songs, I still hold that the quality of the cuts here remain unsurpassed. They do not even hint of the "beaches, boats and bars" themes that pervade the majority of Buffett's later reportoire. The sound here is largely country/folk rock and the themes are varied, perhaps the most persuasive focused on the travails of being an itinerant performer, as is evident in the still moving "Come Monday" and "Ringling." Though this album is over thirty years old, it offers extraordinarily compelling lyrics and music. Check this out and meet the original Jimmy Buffett.

I have had this album on Vinyl for 30 plus years and quite literally wore it out. I finally took the plunge and got this in digital format and it is just as good as I remember. This is Mr Buffett when he did not have restaurants and books and screenplays. He was just a musician. There is a certain melancholy to this album as well as some wistfulness. Of course it was recordeed about 40+ years ago and this does show in the quality. That is part of its charm.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of Jimmy Buffett's Best Albums
Reviewed in Canada on August 19, 2011

There seems to be a major resurgence of interest in 1970s music as today's 15-25 year olds rediscover music from that decade. I grew up in the 70s and my friends' teenaged sons are now frequently asking me about 70s bands and looking for lesser known bands and albums from that era.

Jimmy Buffett has enjoyed a long and successful career and has a sizable cult following known as the Parrotheads, many of whom will undoubtedly jump all over me for implying Buffett is a "lesser known" artist but, in my defence, I've discovered that many of the young guys asking me about 70s music have never heard of Jimmy Buffett. So to help rectify that situation.......

This is one of my three favorite Jimmy Buffett albums (the other two are "A White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean" and "A1A"). It's an infectious combination of rock, country and folk with some great lyrics thrown in. There's not a weak track on the entire album.

A few years after this album was released, Buffett re-invented himself with a beach bum image that he still maintains to this day. He's still releasing new material but this is still my favourite Jimmy Buffett album.

If you're exploring 1970s music, check out this album. It's less that $10 and it's well worth the money. If you're not familiar with Jimmy Buffett and you want to check out some Buffett material before you buy it, there's plenty of Buffett material on You Tube.

If you want to check out Jimmy Buffett, this is one of the albums to start with. If you like this one, buy his "White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean" and "A1A" albums, which date from the same period.

To sum up, this is great album. If you're discovering/re-discovering 1970s music, this one should be in your music collection.

No Buffett classics but lots of good tunes and plenty of Buffett's sly humour. God's Own Drunk is great story telling and an interesting social study in the colloquialisms of the era.
