Product Description
Jimmy Buffett's 33rd record-his first for his own Mailboat Records-finds the world's most famous beach bum in an uncharacteristically reflective mood. While he hasn't completely lost interest in beer, burgers, and string bikinis, Buffett no longer seems intent on transporting fans to some tropical Shangri-la. Buffett does take listeners on a trip to the "Far Side of the World," but insists that you bring your baggage with you-and learn to love it. Buffett skillfully weaves themes of self-acceptance, self-abnegation, and fears for the future into unerringly witty and graphic observations, but his words lack much of their usual frivolity and froth. Buffett is a man at a crossroads, where he's created his most evocative and daring music in years.

Jimmy Buffett's 33rd record--his first for his own Mailboat Records--finds the world's most famous beach bum in an uncharacteristically reflective mood. While he hasn't completely lost interest in beer, burgers, and string bikinis, Buffett no longer seems intent on transporting fans to some tropical Shangri-la. Buffett does take listeners on a trip to the "Far Side of the World," but insists that you bring your baggage with you--and learn to love it. Buffett skillfully weaves themes of self-acceptance, self-abnegation, and fears for the future into unerringly witty and graphic observations, but his words lack much of their usual frivolity and froth. Buffett seems intent on revisiting the emotional landscape he first explored in Living and Dying in 3/4 Time, which produced the rather mournful song of love and separation "Come Monday." His rendition of Bruce Cockburn's "All the Ways That I Want You" recaptures that sense of love and yearning, but without the stark lack of hope. Hope is one thing Buffett possesses in abundance. In "Last Man Standing" he allows thoughts of retirement, but vows, "I wanna be the last man standing." In the elegant "Someday I Will," he admits: "I don't have a plan / It's not that kind of thing / I'm not Martin Luther King / I don't have a dream / It's just sometimes I know that's the way I'm supposed to go." Buffett is a man at a crossroads, where he's created his most evocative and daring music in years. --Jaan Uhelszki

My old CD was damaged and I missed it; HAD to replace my damaged one.
I hope you like this as much as I do.
A legend never dies. See you later, Jimmy -
Buffett fans will find "Far Side of the World" to be better than average.
For non-Buffett fans that have heard (and like) the album "Songs You Know By Heart" (Buffetts's Early Greatest Hits), this may be one of the later albums to buy.
B+
I love this new CD....it's a mellow Buffett, but I'm more mellow than 10 years ago, too! My favorites are AUTOUR DU ROCHER, LAST MAN STANDING, WHAT IF THE HOKEY POKEY IS ALL IT REALLY IS ABOUT, ALTERED BOY, SOMEDAY I WILL and TONIGHT I JUST NEED MY GUITAR.
I've had the CD for a week now and think Jimmy Buffett is a national treasure. You cannot be depressed when you listen to Buffett! Twenty-five years after my first concert, I'm still smiling!
TONIGHT I JUST NEED MY GUITAR is a perfect moment for any Buffett fan...he's leting us know that HE knows just how lucky he is to do what he loves and love what he does.
SOMEDAY I WILL gives you hope that the promise of our youth might yet see daylight before "they gaze upon our taxidermic smile(s)."
I will be enjoying this CD for a long, long time!
Enjoy yourself...become a Parrothead and have a "deep moat" of fun.

Trotzdem bleibt die Musik ur-amerikanisch. Vielleicht nicht so unbeschwert wie "Why don't we get drunk and skrew?" (Warum eigentlich nicht?), aber trotz einem Hauch von Welt-Musik, ist der Grundtenor klar: Spass am Leben haben, Erwachsen werden kann man später.
Diese zwölf neuen Songs sind eine Aufforderung, es Jimmy Buffett gleich zu tun: Wenn immer die Möglichkeit besteht, etwas anderes zu sehen, die Welt zu erleben, dann sollte man es tun. Buffetts Grossvater riss mit 13 Jahren von zu Hause aus und kehrte mit 84 Jahren zurück, um dann festzustellen, dass sich in der Zwischenzeit nicht viel verändert hatte.
Und wenn man denn doch zu Hause bleiben muss oder will, dann ist diese CD zum Träumen ideal. Und vielleicht ändert sich ja doch einmal etwas.
I ordered 9 CDs at the same time, he is charching postage on every single CD, but sending it as one package.
------------- >>> This is NOT FAIR !
In email conversation, seller is unreasonable, harsch and not courteous. RIPP OFF and BAD service.
