Buffett called his music “drunken Caribbean rock ‘n’ roll”…..while saying “It’s pure escapism is all it is…..I’m not the 1st one to do it, nor shall I probably be the last. But I think it’s really a part of the human condition that you’ve got to have some fun. You’ve got to get away from whatever you do to make a living or other parts of life that stress you out. I try to make it at least 50/50 fun to work and so far it’s worked out.”

In 1989, a music critic in The Washington Post described Buffett’s music as a combination of “tropical languor with country funkiness into what some [have] called the Key West sound, or Gulf-and-western.” The name “Gulf-and-western” derives from elements in Buffett’s early music including musical influence from country, along with lyrical themes from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico…..as it is a play on the form of “Country & Western”….. and Gulf+Western is the former parent company of Paramount Pictures.

In 2020, The Associated Press described Buffett’s sound as a “special Gulf Coast blend of country, pop, folk and rock, topped by Buffett’s swaying voice. Few can mix steelpans, trombones and pedal steel guitar so effortlessly.” The DC Metro Theatre Arts magazine, in a 2019 review for Buffett’s musical Escape to Margaritaville, described Buffett’s music as “blend[ing] Caribbean, country, rock, folk, and pop music into a good-natured concoction variously classified as “trop rock” or “gulf and western”.

Parrot Head or parrothead is a commonly used nickname for Buffet fans with parakeets or keets used for younger fans and children of Parrotheads. At a 1985 Jimmy Buffett concert at Timberwolf Amphitheater at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio…..that’s when Buffett commented about everyone wearing Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats…..and how they kept coming back to see his shows, kinda like the Grateful Dead’s Deadheads…..and then member of the Coral Reefer Band, Timothy B. Schmit, coined the term Parrot Head to describe them. In 1989 the 1st Parrothead club was founded in Atlanta.

It is with a subtle feeling of sadness that we have come to the end of this post….cuz less than 2 weeks ago on September 1, 2023….that is when the rarest version of all singer / songwriters passed away…..for here was a man who majored in “HAPPY MUSIC” his entire 60 years of writing and performing music for the ages. The simple fact remains that Jimmy Buffett may be the most interesting musical artist ever. Country music didn’t want him…..and rock music didn’t either…..and he really wasn’t folk…..cuz he was his very own thing. Amazing. To me he was a tropical country rock folk kinda artist. My point is that he was his own…..and there will never be another anything like him. From all of us treasure seekers finding nuggets as we trace your past…..we just wanna say thanks Jimmy…..and know that our lives change like the weather but a legend never dies! So, the big question becomes “What do you do when the person who gave you sounds of your youth with some of your best memories…becomes a memory?”…..well, while you have sailed on into that Key West sunset…..after leaving the world with your treasure trove of music to listen to for the rest of our days…..and we thank you. Your music will resonate in our hearts and souls with its unswerving honesty, humor and thought-provoking lyrics and music. You have been the story teller…..the rhymer…..and the adventurer…..who inspired and nudged us all into the magic of the gulf coast and the Caribbean. As your sun was setting, you came up with th song, “Bubbles Up”…..which is a loving farewell and truly words of wisdom…..like so many other works of your magical art….and the world will live on in so many of us. Jimmy, who else’s music could make everyone from introverts to frat boys dance together like friends? You’ve left such a space here. Thank you for all the joy. In these times when we seem to keep losing things and our way of life, Jimmy Buffett and his way of life we’re always something folks could count on…..for his passing brought a sense of sorrow that is almost impossible to shake…..kinda like losing part of your soul. We lost a true American treasure.
