Jimmy Buffett Bio
Buffettt began his official musical career
in Nashville during the late 1960s as a country artist and recorded his
first album, Down to Earth, in 1970. During this time Buffettt could be
frequently found busking in for the tourists in New Orleans. In fact it
was Jerry Jeff Walker who took him to Key West on a busking expedition.
He then moved to Key West and began establishing the easy-going beach
bum persona for which he is known.
Buffettt's third album was A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean, now
acclaimed as his best though it achieved only moderate sales. Havana
Daydreamin' appeared in 1976, followed by 1977's Changes in Latitudes,
Changes in Attitudes, which featured the breakthrough hit song "Margaritaville".
During the 1980s Buffettt made far more money off his tours than albums
and became known as a popular concert draw. He released a series of
albums during the following twenty years, primarily to his devoted
audience, and also branched into writing and merchandising. In 1985,
Buffettt opened the first of the "Margaritaville" restaurants in Key
West, bringing new visibility and life to the Margaritaville name.
Two of the more unusual albums were Christmas Island, a collection of
holiday songs, and Parakeets, a collection of Buffettt songs sung by
children and containing "cleaned-up" lyrics (like "a cold root beer"
instead of "a cold draft beer").
In 1997, Buffettt collaborated with novelist Herman Wouk to create a
short-lived musical based on Wouk's novel, Don't Stop the Carnival.
Broadway showed little interest for the play, so it was instead run for
six weeks in Miami. He released the soundtrack for the musical in 1998.
In 2003, he partnered in a partial duet with Alan Jackson for the
country hit "It's Five O'clock Somewhere," a number one hit on the
country charts. Buffettt's most recent album, License to Chill, released
on July 13, 2004, sold 238,600 copies in its first week of release
according to Nielsen SoundScan. With this, Buffettt topped the U.S. pop
albums chart for the first time in his three-decade career.
Buffettt continues to tour throughout the year although recently he has
shifted to a more relaxed schedule of ~20-30 dates, and never on back to
back nights. In fact, he tries to play only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. Ticket purchasing is becoming harder and harder each year.
All of his concerts sell out in a matter of minutes.
Buffettt co-owns the Margaritaville and Cheeseburger In Paradise
restaurants (the latter of which is a part of the Outback Steakhouse
family of restaurants). He loves baseball and was part-owner of two
minor league teams: the Fort Myers Miracle and the Madison Black Wolf.
Between his restaurants, album sales, and tours, he earns an estimated
$60-70 million dollars a year.
In 2006, Buffettt plans a cooperative project allegedly with
Anheuser-Busch to produce his own beer called Lone Palm. Lone Palm was
also the title of a song from his 1994 album Fruitcakes. The label of
the beer bottle will most likely feature a pirate's map. The seaplane
airport at the Orlando Margaritaville restaurant is also called Lone
Palm.
