Born to James Delaney "J.Music
Buffett began his musical career in Nashville, Tennessee during the late 1960s as a country artist and recorded his first album, the folk rock Down to Earth, in 1970.During this time Buffett could be frequently found busking for tourists in New Orleans.Following this move, Buffett combined country, folk, and pop music with coastal and tropical lyrical themes for a sound sometimes called "gulf and western."Today, he is a regular visitor to the Caribbean island of Saint Barts and other islands where he gets inspiration for many of his songs and some of the characters in his books.Buffett's third album was the 1973 A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean.Havana Daydreamin' appeared in 1976, followed by 1977's Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, which featured the breakthrough hit song "Margaritaville".During the 1980s, Buffett made far more money off his tours than albums and became known as a popular concert draw.He released a series of albums during the following twenty years, primarily to his devoted audience, and also branched into writing and merchandising.Broadway showed little interest in the play, so it instead ran for six weeks in Miami.In August of 2000 Buffett and the Coral reefers played on the White House lawn for then President Bill Clinton.In 2003, he partnered in a partial duet with Alan Jackson for the song "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," a number one hit on the country charts.Buffett's album, License to Chill, released on July 13, 2004, sold 238,600 copies in its first week of release according to Nielsen SoundScan.With this, Buffett topped the U.Purchasing tickets is difficult with most of his concerts selling out in minutes.In the summer of 2005 Buffett teamed up with Sirius radio and introduced channel 31 Radio Margaritaville.Until this point Radio Margaritaville was solely an online channel.The channel broadcasts from the Margaritaville restaurant at Universal City Walk in Orlando Fl.The song "Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On" on this album refers to 2005's Hurricane Katrina.Also on the album he pays tribute to Merle Haggard with his rendition of "Silver Wings" and collaborates with Mark Knopfler in the track, "Whoop De Doo."DVD entitled He Went To Paris is scheduled for release in Spring 2008.In 2003 Buffett won his first ever County Music Award (CMA) for his song "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere" with Alan Jackson, and was nominated again in 2007 for the CMA Event of the Year Award for his song "Hey Good Lookin" which featured Alan Jackson and George Strait.Writing

Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band are famous for their concerts.Buffett opened the show with one to three acoustic songs.The Great Filling Station Holdup and Pencil Thin Mustache are common acoustic openers as well as Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, The Wino and I Know, Son of a Son of a Sailor, Migration, Boat Drinks and My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus in recent years.The first part of the second set usually consists of slower songs.There has never been a tour where A Pirate Looks At Forty hasn't been played during the second set.The first encore usually consists of two songs.After the first song, Buffett introduces the band, and then they segue into the second song.Pirate Looks At Forty is a typical closer at shows, however, Buffett sometimes takes the opportunity to choose a more obscure song to perform such as: He Went to Paris, Changing Channels, Defying Gravity, Nautical Wheelers, Survive, Tin Cup Chalice, Twelve Volt Man, Distantly in Love etc."It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" is performed with Mac McAnally taking Alan Jackson's place.The band will also often throw in references to and skits about the actual venue they're playing to please home town fans.As an example, when Buffett and the Coral Reefers performed at Fenway Park, Boston, in September 2004, they added a performance of Take Me Out To The Ball Game featuring Dr.Charles Steinberg on organ, segued Why Don't We Get Drunk into Red Sox favourite Sweet Caroline, and attempted to reverse the Curse of the Bambino (some even claim they were successful).Buffett will sometimes kick the tour off with an obscure opening cover song, including "Jimi Thing" by Dave Matthews Band and "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" by Jack Johnson.With the success of the Alan Jackson duet "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere", and the rising popularity of "One Particular Harbour", the list of songs played at every show have now gone from 8 to 10.Starting in 2007, the song is no longer played live
"Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes"
"Why Don't We Get Drunk" has stopped being performed, making the number of standard songs 9."Why Don't We Get Drunk" hasn't been played during the Bama Breeze tour.Other notable songs that are played at almost all shows, but have been dropped on occasion, are "Son of a Son of a Sailor", "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Southern Cross".However, it's not unusual for these three songs to be dropped from a show, therefore they have never been considered a standard.Singer Buffett ejected from Knicks and Heat contest.Buffett Music Videos
