Will Kimbrough blogs about his recent time with Jimmy and the Coral Reefer Band in London: “Home from London”
We recorded July 2, 3 and 4 for the next Jimmy Buffett album. Most of the Coral Reefers were there and sounding great.
July 5 was the show day. I think Buffett played a short set at a benefit once, and also sat in with Jack Johnson in London, but this was his first real Coral Reefer band show ever in London. Hard to believe, but true. So the audience was pretty excited.
I thought it was a great show. We opened with “Piece of Work”, and the lead vocals were shared by Jimmy, Mac, Nadirah and myself. Then we did hit after hit after. Everyone sang along to every word and Mr Buffett had a huge smile on his face.
