Product Description
Even without a hit single, this 1975 LP struck a chord with it's reflective, evocative songs-and became Buffett's first Top 40 album as a result. Key cuts: Migration; a Pirate Looks at Forty; Makin' Music for Money, and Life Is Just a Tire Swing.
Amazon.com
Jimmy Buffett's albums are almost always happily hedonistic, but every now and then even he admits that there's hell to pay for all the high jinks. On A1A, an album named for the coastal highway that ends just blocks from the singer's onetime home in Key West, Florida, that realization comes in the form of "A Pirate Looks at Forty" and "Trying to Reason with the Hurricane Season," which acknowledge the onset of a king-size hangover. Buffett offers some hair of the dog on "Presents to Send You" and "Life Is Just a Tire Swing," however, and there's a nice selection of other tracks as well, including the lovely waltz "Nautical Wheelers" and "Door Number Three," a hilarious if somewhat dated song about the long-lost game show Let's Make a Deal. --Daniel Durchholz

Love it
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.
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 "Living And Dying In 3/4 Time"). 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 "Living And Dying In 3/4 Time" 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.
