Rating:  - Nashville or the Keys?....
This is Buffett at his best...before he caught commercial success. Nice songwriting with a few small exceptions...almost has a country feel w/ pedal steel thrown in throughout, but still as that Buffett signature sound. He had something to prove still...like Springsteen on "The Wild and Innocent." This album, along with "Down To Earth" and all of Buffett's album's through "Changes in Lat./Changes in Att." are gems as far as I'm concerned...hell, I'd even say up to the Live album "You Had To Be ...

Rating: - Overlooked Gem
Jimmy's second album follows a similar style as his first, but overall is the better recording of the two. This is still pre-beach bum Buffett and many of the songs reflect a social / political consciousness that would fade away on his later (and more popular) recordings. Songs like "Rockefeller Square", "In The Shelter" and "Ace" all paint pictures of economic social situations that still ring true today. Some of Jimmy's best character studies are to be found here too with songs like "Death Valley ... Read More
Rating:  - Just as Good as Down to Earth
This album features more of Jimmy B before he discovered Boats, Beaches & Bars, well okay, he'd obviously discovered bars, but the boats & beaches would have to wait for his next album.

JB has become larger than life, records ... Read More
Rating: - A glimpse at what could have been
It is quite easy for newcomers to buffett to think him a superficial stadium performer, these days you would be right. The tragic paradox is that JB had the potential to be a truly great artist, up there with Young or Dylan.
This record is living proof of this. If you want to truly hear the Buffett that could have been get High Cumberland Jubilee, A1A, Changes in Lattitudes .., a rare vinyl gem called "before the salt", which can be subsisted with "before the beach" and stop with, ... Read More
Rating: - High Mark
High Cumberland Jubilee unfortunately was released on the tiny Barnaby label or else it could have been Jimmy Buffett's breakout. It contains some of his best songs, "In The Shelter" and "Livingston's Gone To Texas" were later revived and re-recorded on future albums, and great singing. "Ace" & "Rockefeller Square" are songs about odd-ball characters. "Death Valley Lives" is one of his all-time best songs and pops along like a car on the open road. ... Read More
