Jimmy Buffett, License to Chill

Jimmy Buffett, License to Chill - This is Buffett back to his best in what must be his best album for years. There are a number of guests on the album, but they all seem to have adopted Buffett's style, rather than impose their own on the songs - the Nanci Griffith partnership on Someone I used to Love works particularly well, as does the Alan Jackson track, Boats to Build (less of a surprise after "5 O'Clock Somewhere," perhaps).

16 brilliant tracks - if you already know Jimmy, you'll want this. If you're new to his music, this is as good a place to start as any.
