I used to love Jimmy Buffett's music back in the early 70's. His lyrics were witty and clever, and the tunes were more country, but also had a southern US/Florida coast sound not found these days. Albums like 'Havana Daydreamin',or 'Living and Dying in 3/4 Time' were great albums. His new stuff is all cookie-cutter, contrived, and formulaic. Or as Tom Petty once said of pop music in general, "it's all disposable crap."
