Singer/songwriter/author Jimmy Buffett uses his travels and storytelling skills to explain the world at large to his far-flung legion of fans, affectionately known as Parrotheads, many of whom are professionals by day, and turn into colorful, tropical, outrageously-outfitted characters at night when Jimmy comes to town. Certain Buffett songs even inspire their unusual wardrobe. Jimmy Buffett scored his second consecutive #1 debut album on the Billboard Country Chart with the release of his current studio record, Take The Weather With You, which combines a variety of styles and sounds from Nashville, New Orleans and Key West. Selling over 120,000 copies in its first week, it also debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. It was certified Gold after less than three months. The CD includes the single, “Bama Breeze,” a tribute to the historic bars along the Gulf Coast as well as a take on Mary Gauthier's "Wheel Inside The Wheel" with swampy rhythms crafted by Lafayette, Louisiana slide guitarist Sonny Landreth. Deeply affected by Hurricane Katrina, Buffett takes a philosophical look at the devastation of New Orleans in the ballad “Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On.” Throughout the recording of this album, Buffett brought together an excellent array of talented musicians such as the English rock band Gomez, on Neil and Tim Finn's (Crowded House) title track. Original Coral Reefer steel guitarist Doyle Grisham complements the enchanting sounds of Robert Greenidge (master steel drummer from Trinidad) as well as world-renowned percussionist Ralph MacDonald. Hawaiian ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro also appears on several songs.
