Music reviews of Encores

Music Review: Both die-hards and traditional parrotheads will like. Unfortunately, not flawless.
Rating: 4 Stars

Many die-hard parrotheads seek out bootlegs for the obscure lost treasures. Jimmy plays a wide selection of song from his repetoire (save "Down to Earth" and "High Cumberland Jubilee"), so there is always a chance a parrothead might hear their rare favorite performed by Jimmy in concert. However, much of his concert is filled with "Song You Know By Heart" songs, which some die-hards grow tired of. This live mix will satisfy those, as only "Come Monday" and "A Pirate Looks at Forty" are the only two standards on this album; and "He Went to Paris", despite being on SYKBH, is seldom played live. For years parrothead have been begging for Buffett to release high-quality versions of obscure favorites, and it's finally here.

To the traditional listener, they will probably enjoy Buffett's softer side and realize that they're missing some great stuff outside of SYKBH. However, this is not an album in preperation for a Buffett concert because--while this is indeed a live album--it's unlikely most of these songs will be played live.

While both die-hards and traditional parrotheads will enjoy, this album doesn't go without flaws. First, the fade-in/fade-outs are annoying; cross-fading could've (and should've) easily have been accomplished. The album is limited to only second encores played in 2008 and 2009. In regards to that, the take of "A Pirate Looks at Forty" that appears on this album wasn't played as an encore, and "Come Monday" was played alongside "Somewhere Over China" in a second encore, yet the latter was cut out. Not to mention, there's some great second encores Buffett didn't do in 2008 and 2009. What about "Twelve Volt Man" and "Survive" from 1997-1998? There were so many great second encores to choose from and it's kind of frusterating that the selection was only limited to 2008 and 2009. Some of Jimmy's banter (his banter is half the reason to listen to the guy live!) is censored. Lastly, the most rare and standout number on this album, "Death of An Unpopular Poet" has so many mess ups that it's hardly worth including.

All in all, this album is satisfying. It's been a long time coming and now it's here. The fact that these songs on this live mix are recognized with high quality sound is very fulfilling!

Description of Encores

2010 two CD release from the singer/songwriter, a live collection comprised of the intimate final encore songs at the end of each of his concert performances. Contains 22 tracks, 12 of which are solo acoustic performances while the remaining 10 feature his band and/or special guests. 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 Jimmy Buffett songs even inspire their unusual wardrobe.
