Singer, songwriter & author Jimmy Buffett has become a legend of popular culture as the composer of such classic songs as Margaritaville, Come Monday & Cheeseburger In Paradise… songs you know by heart, you could say.
He has recorded over 40 albums, most of which have gone gold, platinum or multi-platinum. His sold-out concert tours are an annual rite of summer for his legions of fans, known affectionately as Parrotheads. Encores is a live album, capturing Buffett in full flight, with songs compiled from his intimate second encores, the songs that he ends his concerts with; featured across 2CDs, & taken from his sold-out 2008 & 2009 tours.
This unique collection, recorded in different cities in the US & in Paris, is comprised of 22 songs - 12 of which are Buffett performing solo acoustic & the rest with band members or special guests. Buffett is a 4th generation sailor & fisherman, a pilot, surfer & frequent traveler to remote & exotic locales around the world - something which informs much of his story-telling lyricism. As a best-selling author, he’s one of only 9 writers in the history of the NY Times Bestseller List to have reached #1 on both their fiction & non-fiction lists.
Encores is unlike anything Jimmy Buffett has released before!
