Live In Anguilla

Performer: Jimmy Buffett
Artist: Bankie Banx
Distributor: Select-O-Hits

Notes: There's no shortage of live Jimmy Buffett recordings, but that's just how the Parrotheads like it. LIVE IN ANGUILLA (2007) conjures the breezy, tropical ease of Buffett's music especially well, given that it documents Buffett and band performing outside at Rendezvous Bay on Anguilla in the Caribbean. The hefty package contains two CDs of music and a DVD of the concert (recorded in high definition and featuring surround sound), both of which include many of Buffett's hits and fan favorites. Sun, sea, sand, and good-time music coalesce on this thoroughly enjoyable set.

A genuine American original, Key West troubadour Buffett mixed Hank Williams with Xavier Cugat, and in the process introduced Caribbean rhythms to the staid musical denizens of Nashville. After a stretch in the basic (yet eclectic) singer-songwriter vein yielded a 1974 hit ballad "Come Monday," Buffett found his trademark mellow Key West groove and the 1977 hit ("Margaritaville") that would launch a cottage industry which even included a restaurant chain. While the singer often played up his one-hit wonder status, he has enjoyed a long, storied and varied career, as well as the enduring loyalty of his fans, otherwise known as "parrotheads." A 2004 star-studded country album brought him a surprise chart-topper and even more fans.
