Buffet Hotel Reviews:
Welcome back, Jimmy! 
2009-12-20 - I struggled between giving this 4 and 5 stars, so consider this a solid 4.5 review. In my opinion, this is Jimmy's best work in years. My favorites include, "Nobody from nowhere", "Wings", "We Learned To Be Cool From You", and of course "A lot to drink about". There's not a bad track on this CD.
Btw - When I heard the preview of "Turn Up The Heat And Chill The Rosé" on Amazon's music sampler, I cringed a bit at what sounded like Jimmy rapping. Once I heard it through, it immediately became one of my faves. This is a great CD! I just hope it doesn't take another 3 years before the next one.
Old Enough To Remember When Margaritaville Was A Song On The Radio
2009-12-14 - It's been awhile since I've been a regular guest at the Buffett Hotel. His concerts were always fun but for awhile, it seemed like he was more of a business than the wise cracking troubadour I grew up with. I certainly do not begrudge the man his money. On the contrary, I kind of admire the fact that he made himself into what he is today instead of being molded into someone else's image. His version of a life well lived is something to aspire to. I love the older feel to this album and I may have actually applauded the sounds of a pedal steel guitar. "Wings", "Beautiful Swimmers", "Turn Up The Heat And Chill The Rose" and "Surfing In A Hurricane" remind me of a time when life seemed more fun. More importantly, they make me realize that maybe it's my fault that life isn't more fun now. Thanks for the reminder, Bubba!
Disappointing 
2009-12-13 - Only for the very forgiving Buffet fan. Jimmy Buffet appears to have gone through the motions putting out a uninspired album for the sake of getting something out. I have been a Buffet fan for 35 years and disappointment best describes my feeling about Buffet Hotel.
Buffett Buffet Delivers 
2009-12-12 - I'm a long-time Parrothead, so there's no hesitation or decision making to purchase when Buffett serves up another studio album. I just had my first run-through of the album, and I must agree with the other reviews. It's got a great mix of lyrics and sounds. I immediately enjoyed 'Nobody From Nowhere', 'Rhumba Man' and 'Summerzcool'.
I really dig the overall sounds of each track. This is certainly a continued break from the 'beach/flip-flop/boat drink' feel, but, like 'Take the Weather With You' it still feels like Buffett. I'm looking forward to digesting each track. Unless you have not liked what he's done is the past few years, Buffett fans should find plenty to enjoy.
It's New "Old" Jimmy!!
2009-12-11 - This reminds me of old Buffett records. The feeling is there Like Coconut Telegraph, Somewhere Over China, Son Of A Son, all in that era. I am so glad I got this!
Thanks Jimmy!! it is some "good ol music" here you have made.
