Jimmy Buffett Tickets – Offering up Slices of Dessert at Every Show

The aptly named Encores will get a run through the fall as Jimmy Buffett's two-album release of encores played at the end of each concert sees support through September. The Under the Big Top Tour has been keeping this veteran tequila lover on stage for months and will see a change of pace as the newly released double disc sees promotion.

Encores' April 20th release finds promotion in additional dates through Florida and Virginia; the 16 additional dates will close with a final encore Sept. 4th in Bristow, Va. "Encores is a collection of well known and not so well known songs that I think provide a happy ending to a musical meal…and dessert has always been my favorite," said Buffett in the album's liner notes.

Encores comes after last year's Buffett Hotel, the first studio release from the "Margaritaville" singer in three years. The 2009 release was much like every other album Buffett had ever produced – a free-flowing reggae inspired roots album that featured drinking hits like "A Lot to Drink About" and "Life's Short Call Now." The album is much the same in the sense that Buffett's talent never dies – the low guitar drawls and contemporary country rock are still as present as years past.

With Encores that position hasn't changed one bit, which keeps Buffett's four decade fanbase entertained. The set, he admits in his liner notes, was all about offering fans more "dessert." "This collection of 'lasts' is a first in a way. In putting it together, my original thought was to just make a collection of these moments. Once assembled and listened to as a set, it came to me that it is probably the longest encore in history."

Buffett has long been playing encores – after signing to ABC-Dunhill Records, Buffett's 1973 album White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean gave Buffett's Gulf Coast lifestyle a name. The single "Why Don't We Get Drunk" was a hit and focused more on his country rhythm dreams that the marimba beats he's better known for. Next came the album Living and Dying in ¾ Time, followed by 1977's Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes and the hit that continues to keep Buffett in Forbes' Magazine top grossing artists of all time – "Margaritaville." The Top 10 track was a success for Buffett but when he tried to simulate that kind of exposure it just didn't happen. His next few albums plummeted and Buffett turned to country music again.

Buffett turned his one success into a lifetime of dreams, as "Margaritaville" became his livelihood. The tune from the '70s helped to launch a clothing line, a chain of restaurants, nightclubs and even novels that have kept Buffett's name in the mainstream. While he has continued to record album after album since that 1977 hit, Buffett's legacy will remain in both his affection for that "lost shaker of salt" and the "dessert" that tied fans over until the next drink.
