Jimmy Buffett as Author, Producer, and Traveler
Referred to by many as the modern-day equivalent of Mark Twain, Jimmy
Buffett is
a prolific author, traveler, business man, storyteller, and
philanthropist. His written works have gained him status as
one of a select few American authors to have national bestsellers
on both the fiction and non-fiction lists. In film, he
served as an associate producer of Walden Media's 2006 release of Hoot.
His collaboration with award-winning author Herman Wouk to produce
the Broadway version of Don't Stop The Carnival was
testament to his unending supply of enthusiasm and talent.
Jimmy Buffett is a mentor, a leader, and to many... a
prophet. He has inspired two generations of faithful
adherents to his philosophies on life and living.
And in all this, we've yet to discuss that which
helped define him and place him on the path wherein he could
accomplish so much - his music.

Buffett's musical revolution was fueled by America's new love of
the ocean following the television revolution of the 1950's.
Since his debut album in the early 70's Jimmy's music has evolved
into a refined, distinguishable genre, spawning many, many similar
acts such as those you'll find highlighted on this website.
