Interesting. This is an early Jimmy Buffet. I didn't know he was into the BLUES...not bad atall. His music these days are different than this.

A week away from seeing Jimmy Buffett at Jones Beach! Wow, I am growing older, but not up. This will be the 36th year of seeing JB and the Coral Reefer Band on the road. Only missed the 2003 summer tour as I was dancing with the grim reaper in the hospital. I missed the boat over the river Styx, fortunately.So, this morning on a picture perfect summer day here in the NE, I took the convertible out, as it was a "rag-top day" and went on some errands for some important ingredients: premium silver Carribean rum, fresh key limes and mint leaves for some refreshing mojitos this afternoon poolside. On the road, with the top down, listened to "You Had to be There," Buffett's 1978 live double album. It is a favorite album of mine, due in part perhaps to attending two of the shows that were recorded for the album (two LPs with a poster originally) at Miami's Gusman Hall and the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. I drove up to Atlanta (8-8-78) in my 1972 Gold Dodge from Key West (my first good car) and then back to Miami (8-15-78) to catch the shows in August 1978. I remember having some delicious cuban sandwiches, hand-rolled cigars and quite a few mojitos (several before the show to beat the heat.) Listening to the show today, I was immediately transported back, to this high point of Buffett's touring. I first saw JB at the Carolina student union in Chapel Hill ($5 ticket) with Greg "Fingers" Taylor, the "original Coral Reefer Band," and have followed him ever since. Standout tracks on this disk include "He Went to Paris," "The Captain and the Kid," and "A Pirate Looks at 40." Wow!Sadly, three members of this crack touring band have passed on (bassist, Harry Daley, Keyboardist Jay Spell and guitarist/songwriter Tim Krekel. I have posted a link to YouTube of them cooking on an instrumental blues number "Dixie Diner originally done by the Highsteppers." Fingers was never better, I STILL miss him in the band. Wow, what a trip down nostalgia road. Fins Up!

I was a DJ at an FM station when this album came out, and I used to play this track all the time. One night a guy called and asked who did the song, he just had to go buy it. I told him Jimmy Buffett, and he was like "no man, I mean the boogie-harmonica song you just played!". It took me 5 minutes to convince him it was the Coral Reefer Band. The original version was by Larry Raspberry and the Highsteppers, and it's in my uploads. Fingers Taylor played the harp on it as well.

@NewShimmer I cannot agree more ..... it is probably the last time he has done any really "raw" in face kinda stuff ..

Releasing this album was the smartest thing Jimmy Buffett ever did. When I was in college in the early 1980s, this Album was passed around at parties, and Jimmy Buffett concerts gained the reputation of being somewhere you could really cut loose and go nuts. Here it is about 30 years later, and Jimmy's still packing in the crowds, and still delivering a great time.
