Buffett Backstories: Fifty Years, Fifty Songs

Original version NOT to be confused with the updated edition available elsewhere on Amazon. This book follows the people and places who inspired Jimmy Buffett songs, brought to life by Key West native Scott Atwell, who celebrated the 50th anniversary of the singers arrival to the island in 1971 with 50 backstories (now plus one) of his most beloved songs. Even the price of the print edition ($19.71) is a nod to the anniversary. From the original tune that forged Buffetts path to Key West (Railroad Lady) to the song that changed everything (Margaritaville), including never-before published accounts of the pirate Phil Clark, Buffett Backstories connects with the people and places that have inspired generations of Parrot Heads. Former Coral Reefer Band road manager Bob LipBalm Liberman provides zany anecdotes in the foreword, while the afterword is anchored by a map of Buffetts Key West haunts.
