Amazon.com essential recording
When Jimmy Buffett eventually becomes the subject of a college course--and given his enduring popularity as a singer-songwriter and author, you know he will someday--here's what'll be on the final exam. Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads is so named because the four-CD collection divides Buffett's collected works among those categories, giving each disc a theme. From early classics such as "Biloxi" and "Come Monday" to more recent fare known only by the Parrothead cognoscenti, this set is the perfect accompaniment to a cool drink and a hammock on a summer afternoon. What kind of cool drink? Well, that'll be on the final, too. --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews

Great CD's
I bought this as a replacement for the ones my husband already had and used until they no longer sounded like CD's rather old 8-track tapes. Thank you very much for having the 4-CD set. He really liked them.

Jimmy Buffett's best!
Love this product! I bought it after I had borrowed it from my boyfriend. I purchased it for my father who had come out of the hospital. It lifted our spirits and is just some really great listening music. I highly recommend it!

Classic Buffett
Great set of CDs. Glad to get them in my collection. Great delivery time.
