Well, I managed to nab a copy of the new album a month before it was released and I thought I’d share my thoughts with my phriends on BuffettNews. The new album is, of course, two CDs and is named “Meet Me in Margaritaville” . It has a cheesy as heck cover with at least a 10 year old picture of Jimmy on it.
The second CD totally kicks the first CD’s butt. If you and your friend are going 50/50 on this one, you definitely want to claim the second CD as yours.
The tracks that are not “live” or “new” are just the old recordings of the same songs. It seems to me that on some of them (notably Jolly Mon and Last Mango) the sound levels have been adjusted so the instruments are a bit louder and Jimmy is a little softer. This may be to make it flow better, I don’t know.
