4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new, but many oldies and goodies, March 14, 2000

If you already own Before the Beach, American Storyteller, or High Cumberland Jubilee and Down to Earth, you already own this CD. This album contains his very early work. If you want his overplayed songs that everyone knows, this CD is not for you (and you would be better off buying Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays), however this CD is great to add to your existing Buffett collection. A must for the die hard parrotheads.

I am a huge Buffett Fan, I have seen him every year for the last 10 years. This Album is too country, I was expecting something more Fun! If you're a die-hard Fan, buy it for your collection, otherwise buy Live Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays

This is all old Nashville era stuff. Jimmy hadn't found himself and was struggling to be what Nashville wanted. If you want to get an idea of what that struggle sounded like, buy this album. If you are a big fan of Volcano and Son of a Sailor era Buffett, take a pass.
