Reviews
Onie Webb –
Good Buffett reference book.
Added to Buffett library.
Barney D B Woofer –
A good read, most of the way
I am a Parrothead from way back, from the 70s and saw Jimmy in small clubs from Key West to Seattle to SF, and many more around the U.S. I totally enjoyed two thirds of the book, but once it became more his business, I lost interest, sure he is mega success and deserves it, but it is no longer the Buffett I fondly remember. I loved reading the back story behind each song on each album and as it moved along I realized my interest in his songwriting skills diminished in direct relation to his becoming an industry into itself. I wish I could have stopped after One Particular Harbor. Still glad I could read it but also a bit sad to see where the road to Margaritaville ended up. On his current songwriting, it’s just not as interesting coming from someone whose net worth is half a billion dollars, and is more with him having others write for him. Still a fan, but will stick a his earlier albums.

Explains a lot! Good for the true Parrothead!
I enjoyed every chapter. The names are familiar from songs but you often get another part of the story

Only 3 chapters in so far, but it give the reader who doesn’t know all the details of JB prior to him becoming famous. His heritage and the influences of his grandparents and parents, as well as friends along the way, who helped him in the early years.I don’t expect the book to falter, judging by what I’ve read already.

I enjoyed reading the life of Jimmy. I love his music and his stage presence. He was dedicated to his talent & he made it big time.
