Songs You Know by Heart : Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hit(s)
Critics have always been singularly unkind to Jimmy Buffett. Or at least they have since the singer became immune to their jabs, commanding a nation of Parrotheads who sell out his shows, snap up his records and books, and eat and drink in his nightclubs in Key West and New Orleans. By now, you've made up your mind as well: To paraphrase Buffett himself from his song "Volcano," you either lava him now, or you lava him not. Songs You Know by Heart is a friendly little best-of collection that features concert perennials such as "Margaritaville," "Fins," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," and the immutable "Why Don't We Get Drunk." If by some chance you've not yet been introduced to Buffett's music, this album is the best way to say hello. --Daniel Durchholz more

Fear not- this is NOT just music for your parents.In fact, for years I thought Jimmy Buffett was some strange goofball who couldn't really write songs and mainly focused on, well, being a goofball. A guy who was more concerned...

This album is one that everyone should own. It's a classic, and it's an absolute essential. Jimmy Buffett is the undisputed king of the musical genre he created. Listen, enjoy, and visit his world. You may never want to go home.

Ok, I'm really sick of Margaritaville, Cheeseburger in Paradise and Fins. But the good news is those are really some of Buffett's lamest compositions. Before he became a favorite of people who know nothing about music, he actually wrote...

- Not the best collection.
When I started listening to this CD, I was surprised that I found it devoid of the energy I associate with Jimmy Buffett. His newer material (both studio-recorded and live albums) have an enegry that is lacking in this older...
