Jimmy Buffett - 1980-07-04 - Minneapolis, MN (FM)

As the decade of the 1970’s came to a close, Jimmy Buffett became an “overnight sensation”. His 1977 album, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, became his first album to go gold, eventually reaching platinum status and climbing to #12 on the Billboard charts. The single, Margaritaville, went all the way to #8 on the charts. He followed that success with the album, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor in 1978, which cracked the Billboard Top 10. The single Cheeseburger In Paradise made the Billboard top 40, peaking at #32. Then in 1979, he released Volcano, which went to #14 on the billboard charts and spawned the single Fins, which cracked the top 40. Of course, like most “overnight sensations”, Buffett had paid plenty of dues along the ways. The 3 disc discussed here were actually the 7th, 8th and 9th stuio albums of his career, He had released more than 15 singles before Margaritaville made him as household name. This FM broadcast captures Buffett riding his late 1970s success into the  1980s, touring in support of  Volcano on July 4, 1980, 4 dcades ago today.
