Parrot Heads Here’s Something for your Christmas Wish List

 

JIMMY BUFFETT RELEASES NEW STUDIO ALBUM ON DECEMBER 8

 

OK I admit it I’m a big Jimmy Buffett fan.  I enjoy his music, I've read all his novels and love the fact he’s accomplished pilot to boot.  So when I hear Jimmy Buffett news, I want to make sure you know about it.

 

I just heard today that Jimmy’s first studio album (CD) since “Take The Weather With You” will hit the stores in time for Christmas.  The new album, Buffet Hotel (one t), contains 12 new songs plus a 24 page booklet. Inside fans will find “Lost In The Sahara - A Desert Memoir From Jimmy Buffett,” a rich description of his adventures in Mali that inspired the record, plus liner notes for each song.  The album was recorded in London, Nashville, Chicago, Long Island, Muscle Shoals, and Bamako in Mali.

 

According to a press release, Jimmy said "I actually didn't go to the desert with the pre-conceived notion of returning with an album.  I went looking for stories.  And stories are still the things good songs are made of.  The story that sparked the song, 'Buffet Hotel,' which eventually turned into the title track and name of this album, began the minute we set foot on the patio of the infamous Hotel De La Gare Buffet in the Bamako train station, better known as Le Buffet Hotel.”

 

So Parrot Heads better let Santa know that you want the latest music from Bubba. I know I'm gonna.
