From early 1978 Son of a Son of a Sailor, by American "Drunken Caribbean Rock 'n' Roll" singer Jimmy Buffett.  Famous for the song Margaritaville and his live concert performances, this is his 8th studio release, and had a hit with the title track as well as Cheeseburger in Paradise. I like this song, African Friend:

The first live album by Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band and my first record from this band, is You had to be there. Recorded during a number of concerts at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta and the Maurice Gusman Cultural Centre in Miami, I really like this double album.  It gives you a feeling for what his live concerts would be like.  Included on this record is a Lord Buckley (mentioned earlier in this blog) dialogue, God's own Drunk about a man protecting his Still from a huge bear, and of course Margaritaville:

Jimmy Buffett's next album, Volcano, was recorded in May 1979 at Air Studios on the Island of Montserrat, under the shadow of Soufriere Hill volcano and hence the name of the album and title track. Probably not his best album, especially after all the great music he put out to date, but if you are a Jimmy Buffett fan, you won't be disappointed. Here is the song Dreamsicle; reminds me a bit of John Prine.  

Coconut Telegraph from 1981 and Riddles in the Sand from 1984 are the two final albums in my Jimmy Buffet collection.  The first did better on the charts, and has some really good laid back insightful songs, but I prefer Riddles in the Sand, with songs like When the Wild Life Betrays Me, Ragtop Day, She's Going out of My Mind and this fun song Love in Decline:
