Thanks for the tip! Think I need to get some low cost Sting.
Great call on the Smithereens – probably one of the most under-rated albums.
You don’t “get” Jimmy Buffett? He’s just a guy singing about his life, and it just so happens that his life experiences match that of many of us. His classic, pre-fame material can be pretty moving.
Let me append that post–Jimmy Buffett’s PRE-FAME life experiences match that of many of us. Once he got famous, of course, his life took a direction that the regular guy can’t comprehend, and that affected his ability to write songs that connect. Stick with the old stuff, they’re truly brilliant.
good lord, that mellencamp collection is incredible. holy $h1t what an amazing group of songs. i own em all already, so maybe i’ll just put them together to listen to tonight…
How under rated is the guy as a songwriter? You can pull any 5 songs from either American Fool or Uh Huh and its as good as anything else out there . . .
agreed. american fool -> lonesome jubilee is probably the strongest string of records i can think of from the 80s…
Thanks for the interesting read!
