I know so many people that hate their jobs and I love my job. I really do, and it gets more exciting every day.
Speaker 2:Alright, thank you for listening to the Greatest Nine Hits. I'm Chris and playing Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season from Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, released in December 1974, as my co-host, tim. Before we begin, it's worth noting that we recorded this episode just eight days after Jimmy Buffett's passing, on September 1st of 2023. He was a remarkable entertainer that brought a lighthearted spirit to a heavy-hearted world and an example of how to spend a little time we have on this earth in the right way. We feel his legacy goes beyond a body of songs about escapism. To send that message would be missing his true accomplishments, which was his music that galvanized people globally, really via the parent heads and other groups, to seek out one another to live their best lives, whether it's through escapism, but not escapism, but through the things in life that matter, connecting, making a difference in positive outcomes in other people's lives. We feel that there were way more positive outcomes due to people coming together to celebrate his music, using his music. It was less about the boozing and the headaches and all that. The parent heads, other legions of fans, united for decades through philanthropy, giving the example of how to live life to the fullest, but without burnout, but without the excessive that goes along with our vices. We all pick our poisons, and Jamie was no different. Beyond all of that, there was a lot of good, and he'll be truly missed. A few of us got the wrong message, but most of us got it right. With that being said, you can look up facts about his life Online. There are a lot of resources that document his career through the years, the decades.
Speaker 2:For the purposes of what we do on this show, what we like to do is just put the magnifying glass or the focus on the specific album that is the subject matter, which is his album A1A, released in December of 1974, as mentioned earlier, I think it was his third album under the record label ABC. We're going to focus that attention there. We're going to listen to all the songs on this album. We have a great time. I think that's the way he would have wanted it. We'll consider the song which is titled A Pirate Looks at 40, as the lone head.
Speaker 2:Throughout his career, he had what they called the Big Eight. Most of you who are familiar with his work know that there are eight songs that were a part of virtually every concert he ever performed. That's one of them, but the rest of them are some of those hidden gems, those underappreciated, under listened to songs. We're going to listen to all of them. We're going to chat about them. We'll have a few laughs too. This doesn't have to be doom and gloom. We're going to celebrate it by having fun today. So we've got some clips lined up. Then we're going to rank all the songs at the very end.
Speaker 2:So just a few more quick facts. It was actually ABC Dumb Hill Records, an album titled A1A. That refers to a Florida State Road, a1a that runs mostly along the Atlantic Ocean in the state of Florida. Often mentioned in his songs, he goes all the way down to the Keys where he did a lot of busking that eventually led ultimately to the making of this album. That's sort of where he learned his chops, but the A1A Road goes all the way down to Key West. The album reached number 25 on the Billboard Top LP charts at the time, making it Buffett's first album to chart the notable songs. As I mentioned, a pirate books in 40. I think Micration got some traction, trying to reason with Hurricane Season, which is what Tim is playing, and it was produced by Don Gant.
Speaker 1:He also worked with Buffett on several other albums.
Speaker 2:The genre, I guess you could say it's a mix of country folk and pop with a distinct beach bump feel to it that would become Buffett's signature style. Yeah, the album cover features a painting by the artist Will Wilson depicting a beat scene with a road sign for A1A. It's an album often considered one of his best works, With the critics praising its laid back style. We have, I think, we have like one 1975 review that we'll share with you a little bit later on, but the critics, especially later on in his life, considered it one of the best. What else can I mention about this album?
Speaker 2:All the songs were written by Jimmy Buffett himself, and I think that's one of the things that's good about this album is that it gives all of us a remembrance of what a great songwriter he is, and this collection is a wide net beyond just the greatest hits album that we're all familiar with. So again, it explores themes of escapism, beach life, the joys of and the struggles of, living on the coast, so got a lot in store for you, really excited about it. That was good. I like that man. You're getting good at this. We say this, but you listen to episode one, two, whatever episode this is I don't think it's 76 or 77, but you're killing it, man. A little wallaby. Yeah, how's it hanging for you, man?
Speaker 1:Man get my vitamin D. Just listen to this album.
Speaker 2:That's good stuff, man. My vitamin D barely shower getting on the beach Raging headache from the night before.
Speaker 1:Right, that's vitamin water. I get my natural Gatorade of lime complex sugars.
Speaker 2:Gatorade was out back then it was developed in Florida, but Natural.
Speaker 1:Gatorade.
Speaker 2:People weren't like electrolytes and all that back then, I think it was just sort of like yeah, you just have another bloody Mary, Good to go for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, little bloody Mary, little vegetables which clean you out.
Speaker 2:That's right. Holding blow in you in the morning.
Speaker 1:Yeah, mornings must have been tough, yeah, they didn't have a cold blow. Yeah, jimmy Buffett, what can we say? I mean, he is a vagabond, a mystical island gypsy with just the work ethic of a hardened hurricane, weathered mule, just he hawn his songs to those who will listen. He hawn, I like it. He really has his people. He has his whole little parrot head group. They are part of history. The parrot heads and the dead heads run symbiotically. It's just a good time, feel.
Speaker 2:It seemed like a lot of those movements gained steam in the early mid 90s, maybe late 80s. I think that's when there was a guy by the name of Scott Nickerson I was listening to or I was watching a documentary actually about how the parrot heads formed. This is sort of like an mid 90s guy from Atlanta. He was actually sort of like a hard rocking kind of guy. I think he was in Jacksonville, moved to Atlanta but in his Jacksonville days, like in and around like St Augustine, he got a real understanding and knowledge of the whole Florida culture and laid back that whole thing. He was very instrumental in starting that whole movement. But to your point, it tracks with like other fans of other groups that use their appreciation for the band to connect with other people that saw the same things Organize, philanthropies get together that were really positive. I thought they're at least it put a positive spin on what they were doing.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, exactly Like Troprock Calypso. It's easy listening. How can you not like this? And you know, if you've had a couple and you're in the car, you know, shout out to the designated drivers out there. Yeah, that's swell. Duff Holt hardly supports the designated driver program Now who wants to party Should we get in. Yeah, let's do it, let's get into this.
Speaker 2:Let's get the party started. We're going to begin with the first song, a non-hit called Making Music for Money Ready.
Speaker 1:Hi man.
Speaker 2:So I'm a little sketchy on the lyrics of this one, but La-Naw.
Speaker 1:I should have been Countin' Sheep. The patient called him to tell him what he should be. So he's just saying he's already mocking the human business of.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the business side for sure. Straight out the bats. Yeah, he's got it. Exactly that's what they wanted him to do.
Speaker 1:Right, I mean, this is what we wanted him to write. You know what I mean? Commercials, maybe some Get some Monsanto carpet, we'll get there, we'll get there, we'll get there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll get there.
Speaker 1:Love that harmonica.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we need to shout out to some of the guys who were part of the recording there's the choral reefer band around me Choral reefer. They officially formulated the band with that name right after this album was constructed. So I think original choral reefer band With the musicians on it A little Sanford and Son there.

Speaker 2:Oh yeah, let's look at that. This was a Stephen Holden. It's an album review, 1975 Mate. Like his friend Michael Murphy, jimmy Buffett belongs to the Cosmic Cowboys School of Country Rock and his joint commercial acceptance. My read a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this country rock fair cynical lyrics, bite savvy. Humor Calls Murphy and Waylon Jennings.
Speaker 2:Yeah, singing recalls yeah, without having quite the distinction of either right, he's got his own.

Speaker 1:Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:I just thought it was a good, well-constructed song and it's my number two.
Speaker 1:Okay, my number one shout out to the DDs out there Migration when you're migrating you need a cool head about ya.
Speaker 1:you need to study your maps or just use your smart computer, and I think it's better actually to still look at a map instead of relying on your smart computer, because sometimes the exits, there's the one turn off and you think you're going, you're turning off, but you're going straight, but it's slightly left, and then you don't go at the turn off and then I just go off the rails and oh, what were we talking about? No, yeah, your number one, what do you got?
Speaker 2:No, that was yeah. You were talking about your number one. That was a good yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you made your point. Does it behind door number one?
Speaker 2:Migration was a good song. It's one of my. It's one of my honorable mentions. Trying to reason with hurricane season is my number one, oh wow.
Speaker 1:Like speaking of the metaphors.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's the obvious metaphor, but they're really. These are really life lessons and it's really about the journey of life and trying to find wisdom from a bad experience like the hurricane or the like, whatever the figurative hurricane is going on in your life and with that calm music, it's about keeping your cool in the midst of a storm or the chaos and that's like a tenant of life that you have to keep your cool, keep your composure about you. That's one of the things I dig about him that I could learn from is his composure, the way he composed himself, despite being on his own and playing for money in Key West, surviving and having the right attitude, the laid back Caribbean attitude, and having things work out for him. I think that that's what carried him and that's what made him such an inspiration to all of us.
Speaker 1:Wow, yeah, no, he really that was beautiful. Wow, thanks, man.
Speaker 2:Gosh, yeah, that just came up with that too. I'm not. It wasn't chat, GBT or anything like that I swear. I'm in the glass case of emotion.
