Before he developed his trademark brand of Caribbean-influenced good-time pop, the sun-loving singer paid his dues on the Nashville circuit, eventually recording two albums of accomplished, if not particularly commercially successful, country rock (the best tracks from which were collected on 1994's BACK TO THE BEACH). With LICENSE TO CHILL, Buffett brings the cowboys to the beach, employing the talents of Music City's first-call studio musicians and superstar performers. Buffett's music is so comfortable that duet contributions from artists as diverse as Toby Keith, Nanci Griffith, and Bill Withers all sound perfectly at home. By applying island rhythms to country classics and combining steel of the pedal and drum varieties in a single song, Buffett has once again developed a new hybrid style that could perhaps be called "all-American world music." |

| | Artist Overview | | A genuine American original, Key West troubadour Buffett mixed Hank Williams with Xavier Cugat, and in the process introduced Caribbean rhythms to the staid musical denizens of Nashville. After a stretch in the basic (yet eclectic) singer-songwriter vein yielded a 1974 hit ballad "Come Monday," Buffett found his trademark mellow Key West groove and the 1977 hit ("Margaritaville") that would launch a cottage industry which even included a restaurant chain. While the singer often played up his one-hit wonder status, he has enjoyed a long, storied and varied career, as well as the enduring loyalty of his fans, otherwise known as "parrotheads." A 2004 star-studded country album brought him a surprise chart-topper and even more fans. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (p.116)
- 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "The reassuring message is that getting older isn't all bad once you learn how to roll with the swell and, most important of all, chill out."Rolling Stone (p.141)
- Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "[T]he laid-back shuffle of songs such as the honky-tonk title track has earned him his first-ever Number One album." Entertainment Weekly (p.79)
- "Buffett's smart - he knows the country demo is his as well, and clever genre mash-ups like 'Conky Tonkin'' and the oldie 'Sea of Heartbreak' make this experiment work." - Grade: B |
