| Over the years, Jimmy Buffett has earned a fanatical legion of admirers on a par with the Grateful Dead's army of Deadheads. Like the Deadheads, Buffett's "Parrotheads" see something in Buffett that goes beyond music--a way of life exemplified by the image their hero continues to perpetuate. On BEACH HOUSE ON THE MOON, Buffett is still the good-time Charlie with a tan, a tropical drink, and a loud shirt. | |
| A closer listen reveals a deeper side to the man's songwriting. For instance, while the title song features a lilting, semi-tropical rhythms and steel drum coloring, the minor key melody supports some literate, sophisticated lyrical imagery. That's not to say Buffett's lost his famed sense of humor--check out his version of John D. Loudermilk's sarcastically good-natured "You Call It Jogging" (which contains the punch line: "I call it runnin' around"). It's the marriage of relaxed party atmosphere and thoughtful sentiments that make BEACH HOUSE such a well-balanced album. | |
