Music reviews of High Cumberland JubileeMusic Review: Early Buffett at its best!
This is arguably Jimmy Buffett's most obscure album - which is all the more reason why you should own it. These early glimpses of the man years before he was famous are really fascinating given the image most of us have of Jimmy today. Let's make one thing clear from the top, though: there are no steel drums or tropical rhythms on here. None of the songs deal exclusively with life-or-death parties (to borrow from a more recent Buffett CD) or the ocean. All that was quite a while into the future when these songs were recorded. What you do get is tuneful folk-rock, with enough country twang thrown in the mix to remind us that our hero started off in Nashville. There's also a sharper sense of social relevance here than in most of his better-known works: "Bend a Little" and "Ace" feature some of the most biting lyrics he's ever served up while "Rockefeller Square" (my favorite song on the album, with a deceptively energetic arrangement) is worthy of Dylan in its skewering of hypocrisy. It's too bad Buffett so rarely tries to take on serious issues anymore; this album proves he's quite good at it when he tries. Best of all are early versions of "In the Shelter" and "Livingston's Gone to Texas" which, for my money, top the better known recordings. Winding down the album in style is the title track, which progresses from a pretty, almost Beatlesque piano tune to a country rave-up featuring a terrific banjo break. It's an eclectic mix, but - like the album overall - it works!
