Beach House On The Moon [ENHANCED CD] [Enhanced]

Amazon.com
Jimmy Buffett's music has always had an easy-in-the-islands feel to it, and if his songs seem like postcards sent from exotic locations or notes hastily scribbled on a bar napkin, that's more or less what they are. On Buffett's 31st album, the singer/songwriter, bestselling author, pilot, and son of a son of a sailor offers alternately wry and sentimental observations on everything from our impending doom ("Waiting for the Next Explosion") and the appeal of Cajun food ("I Will Play for Gumbo") to the ultimate vacation getaway ("Beach House on the Moon") and life's sweet mysteries ("Oysters & Pearls"). Buffett also tries on a couple of intriguing covers, including Bruce Cockburn's pensive "Pacing the Cage," Mose Allison's sly "You Call It Jogging," and Fred Neil's laid-back "Lucky Stars." Thanks to the return of a few long-lost members of his Coral Reefer Band, Beach House on the Moon often recalls Buffett's early albums--cause enough for Parrotheads everywhere to fire up the blender, string up the hammock, and give this one a spin. --Daniel Durchholz

Buffett finds salvation in his lilting Caribbean-flavored music.

Math sux made me almost waver...to remind myself why I like him, I immediately resort to his old catalog...math sux, seriously...probably worst song he's ever let be known

Another step down in quality.......2005-09-07

Just as Jimmy's albums took a general downturn from the 70's to 80's, and from the 80's to the 90's, this album again shows another step down in quality; further distancing himself farther from the classic music he once wrote in the 70's.

I mean, I'm a big Parrothead, and I REALLY want to like this album, but he makes it so very difficult with the weak material included. In fact, with repeated listens, it's actually getting harder to enjoy it.

Jimmy just seems to be coasting most of the time on this disc (coasting in a bad way), going through the motions, on autopilot. He really needed/needs a reality check of his music, away from his current trend, and back to something of substance. I doubt that this album will hold up to the test of time as his 70's-80's albums have.

Sorry

JIMMY 'S BEACH HOUSE .......2005-05-28

Jimmy Buffett makes a very good attempt to capture the population which may not know his tried and true "Margaritaville" Music. Some of the "Coral Reefers" background musicians showed up on this session which adds a lot to this CD. The songs are funky and playful and sometimes even moody. The lyrics and tunes are good enough to make you want to lean back in your summer chair and sing along, with a tall drink in hand and nowhere to go. Jimmy Buffett never takes himself or his music too seriously. I like the second cut very much, "Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling". It is the perfect anthem for this or any other Buffett CD. Buffett has a breezy way of takiing us all on journeys of the imagination where everyone lives the beach bum life and is better for it. It's the "what me worry?" attitude where money, clothes, jobs, and success don't matter much. Of course to say that Buffett hasn't earned a fine living through "merchandizing" through his many restaurants and web-pages is beside the point. There are enough parrotheads who would like to believe the next "beach house is on the moon" and it is accessible to each of us. So lay back and enjoy this CD.

I wanna live on the Moon!.......2002-10-12

I recently began to re-visit Jimmy Buffett's body of work.

Yes, I am a Parrothead...long before they named us that.

But, more than that, I love the music. And even more than that, I love a good story put to music.

Buffett has done himself proud on this CD. The stories he tells about tattoos (PERMANENT REMINDER OF A TEMPORARY FEELING), failed love affairs (YOU CALL IT JOGGING), being a caveman in the era of the world wide web (FLESH AND BONE), being a true son of the south (I WILL PLAY FOR GUMBO), and the advice he gives to misery husbands (SPENDING MONEY) are top notch. Not only are they musically pleasing, they're very well written.

I'd like to ask Buffett what comes phirst -- the music or the words.

However, this year on the first anniversary of 9/11, I was really struck by the words to PACING THE CAGE. It was if I was hearing it for the first time. Made me weep.

Get this CD and enjoy songwriting and the joy of performing at its best.

Go, Jimmy!

What Happened?.......2002-02-13

Alright ive been a parrothead since i was 7. I always look for Jimmy to start my summer and end my summer. I start with Barometer Soup and end it with Mexico. I was about 13 when this cd came out, but i never really got a chance to listen to since i still loved Buffetts old stuff. Well when i got a chance listen to it and i was extremely disapointed, I mean what happened to him? Is trying to hit Pop and get on the radio? Barely any songs on this cd have any caribbean-boat-music feel to em there just simple folk songs. Math suks...first second i heard this song i didnt loose through the whole thing, this song is by far the worse buffett song ever written, terrible just terrible. Now Beach House aint that bad its got its high points such as Beach House On The Moon, I Don't Know I Don't Care, I Will Play For Gumbo, and of course the tear-jerker Pacing the Cage.(Which if you ever stumble upon live version of Pacing The Cage from when Buffett kicked off the summer on the Today Show summer of 99 I think, listen to it, it is spectacular) Well it really doesnt matter how this cd comes out buffett rarely plays his new stuff on his tour. Basically this cd is worth burnin if somebody u know has it, but dont buy it this cd gets thrown in buffetts dispointing cd along with Somewhere Over China.
