2.0 out of 5 stars The Best??? Not Really, March 20, 2002

By 

Hoppy Doppelrocket (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of the Early Years (Audio CD)

First of all, the picture of Jimmy on the cover is clearly NOT from the "Early Years". Secondly, this set is very deceptively titled. These are not the best songs from Jimmy's early days, but instead the leftovers that hadn't already been released for his record label (Barnaby Records) in the early '70s. Basically, this is folk music with the silly early '70s social conscience you'd expect and some ever so slightly more refined numbers with backing strings. Even at the price, this is not a bargain...unless you're one of those weird completists who's had too many margaritas.

Long before Parrotheads put on their first Hawaiian shirts there were Buffett Fans. This collection is a must have for any True Buffett fan,with songs from his Pre- Key West days.

This cd sums up the great work of Jimmy Buffett and all his greatest hits, but remember that some of the best songs do not become hits so make sure to check out all his other cds like songs u know by heart, if u really want to be a great fan!
