The Chicago Sun-Times has an interview with Jimmy Buffett: “A little-bit-country Buffett shows Parrotheads the way to next tiki bar“.
The duet (It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere) “is screaming up the country charts,” Buffett chuckled. “I figured I hadn’t been there in a while and I’d take a ride. Alan (Jackson) called me. He had this song [written by Jim ‘Moose’ Brown and Don Rollins], and if you look, country has been mimicking me and I get mentioned in a lot of songs. I appreciate it, and the singers are really nice guys.” … expect Jackson to drop in on Buffett’s show Thursday in Indianapolis.
“We’re getting ready to put a Margaritaville [store] in Hono-lulu,” Buffett said.
Later this year Buffett is opening a Cheeseburger in Paradise in the Oak Brook-Downers Grove area (Chicago).
