Jimmy Buffett to Release Acoustic Double Disc ‘Encores’
[ Comments Off ] Posted on 04.15.10 under Album, Jimmy Buffett News
Parrottheads will be able to hear their favorite Jimmy songs on an intimate acoustic album, “Encores” this year. The album will be released on April 22nd and will only be available at Walmart. Featuring 22-songs, “Encores” comes from the encores off the 2008-09 tour. Jimmy often ends his shows with just a acoustic guitar, a microphone, and one of his timeless songs, so it makes great sense to put together a collection of these performances. Songs like “Come Monday”, “Coast of Carolina”, “Pirate Looks at Forty”, “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans”, and “Death of an Unpopular Poet” are all on the record. Twelve of the tracks are Jimmy playing alone, while the other tracks have a few other surprise guests. “Encores” is a must have for any Jimmy fan.

Lucy “Lulu” Buffett, sister of Jimmy, was in the news this week as she was honored by the University of Southern Mississippi’s School of Business as the 2010 Boardman Entrepreneur of the Year. Lucy is the proud owner of Lulu’s Sunset Grill in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Located right on the water, Lulu’s is a great place for seafood, tropical drinks, cold beer, and of course a cheeseburger in paradise. Lulu’s has live music playing and serves more than seven hundred thousand customers a year. Lulu also is the author of a best-selling cookbook entitled “Crazy Sista Cooking” and went on “The Today Show” to promote the book. Congrats to Lulu! Wow, I’m hungry now.
