Bob Dylan thought Jimmy Buffett, who died Friday at the 76, was a brilliant songwriter. And we absolutely agree with Dylan on that one.
People saw how much fun he was having — walking around with a big smile, bare feet and absolute joy onstage — and many assumed that there couldn’t be much depth to his music, as if one had to appear as dour as Neil Young or Van Morrison in order to be a serious songwriter.— wrote his share of frivolous fun tunes, about such topics as food , facial hair and “Fins.” Yet, he also wrote a number of mesmerizing, heartfelt songs that would stand tall in any songwriter’s catalog.
Just ask Bob Dylan, who once listed Buffett among his favorite songwriters — right up there with John Prine and Gordon Lightfoot.With that in mind, we pay tribute to the life and work of Buffett by highlighting three of his songs that should stand the test of time and help the uninitiated truly realize his great talent as a songwriter.The song is often taken — apparently by those who don’t listen too closely to the lyrics or know the context — as being quasi-autobiographical.
