5.0 out of 5 stars Great blast from the past. Old tunes die hard!, May 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: American Storyteller (Audio CD)

This is an album for true Buffett phans. We can only appreciate the beginning sounds as well as the new. I suggest this album for any die hard phan, evan if you have these tracks on another album. He seems to have a relaxed, struggling artist sound....a sound that comes from the heart. The good thing is, he still has the magic now that he had back then.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for new fans !!, April 7, 1999

This review is from: American Storyteller (Audio CD)

Don't be mislead into thinking based on the release date that this is new material it's basically a rerelease of "Down to Earth" with a couple of songs from "High Cumberland Jubilee" added for flavor (Before the Beach pt 2?). If you're a newer fan interested in JB's early material this is a great album due to it's low price. But understand this is most likely not the music that gave you your Fin and Feathers...

5.0 out of 5 stars A very different Jimmy, December 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: American Storyteller (Audio CD)

Got this CD as a Christmas gift. First time through thought it was good, but very different. Took it on a road trip....by the end of the trip (and many playings), thought it was one of the best he has done. The songs just kept playing in my head. Good beat, good lyrics, very fun. Certainly early Jimmy--and if you listen to God Don't Own A Car, you can hardly believe it is really Jimmy. If you like a mellow Jimmy--this is for you. Five Stars!
