The Dallas Morning News has a review of Saturday’s show "Jimmy Buffett brings musical happy hour to Pizza Hut Park" by Michael Granberry
As he has thousands of times in thousands of cities, Mr. Buffett wowed the crowd at Pizza Hut Park with a nearly three-hour show that made everyone feel they were well into happy hour. Mr. Buffett is a pro’s pro – he can play and jam with the best – but this is not Bruce Springsteen raising the ghost of Woody Guthrie or Jackson Browne drawing eerie parallels to Iraq in "Lives in the Balance."
On this night, the troubadour gave them all the hits they wanted while showing his remarkable range.
He opened with Willie Nelson’s "On the Road Again" but also did terrific covers of Hank Williams’ "Hey, Good Lookin’," Van Morrison’s "Brown Eyed Girl," Guy Clark’s "Cinco de Mayo in Memphis," Lyle Lovett’s "If I Had a Boat" and Crosby, Stills & Nash’s "Southern Cross."
And he acknowledged the effect he was having. "Church attendance might be down in the morning," he said. "But for those worried about that, well, for me, this counts as church." Call it a case of preaching to the choir, one that left in a deliriously happy state.
