I always knew Buffet was talented. When I seen Southern Cross by Buffet, I thought Oh No he can't do it. Then I listened, and learned he is more talented than I thought. He did an awesome job, not as great as the original, but still awesome in it's own way.
I've been a Buffett fan my entire life. I'm only fourteen and went to my first concert at the age of four, but I have become a ParrotHead (Well a parakeet ;P) Either way, it's ridiculous to say that this man doesn't add energy to the music and songs he sings. The Coral Reefers have inspired me and gotten me through some tough times. I wish I could tell Jimmy how happy his music has made me and the strength the music has given me.
Could as happy-go-lucky a guy as Jimmy Buffett miss a woman that much, though? Hard to imagine him broken-hearted (remember, this is one he didn't write himself). Oh, it really doesn't matter, the song has plenty of references to sailing and music, two things Mr. Buffett knows a helluva lot about! I love his version, too, even though the CSN original is (slightly) superior.
Jimmy does a nice job of CS & N cover! If you would like to hear another Great cover, search youtube Nucleus Southern Cross, this band does a Great job at this song! The band is 3 brothers, their vocals are Unbelievable!!! You won't regret taking a couple minutes to check out their version! Nucleus doesn't have as many hits or subscriptions as some other bands because they refuse to use the "fake subscription program" for a fake audience. It will Truly be worth your time to check them out!
Saw Buffett one time in the 80's when Little Feat opened up for him @ Mann Music Center in Philly. Now ya can't get a ticket for the dude!
Anyhow, the Dude Sails boats, Flies planes, Writes books, has a Sirius/XM channel, and Plays music to huge audiences whenever he wants.
Sounds like he doesn't have time to be a Hatin' Internet Assassin. He's too busy Lovin' Life. It's gotta pump you up just thinkin how cool the dude is.
this wouldve been a very nice surprise to see at one of his concerts, hes trying to make us happy, shut the fuck up with the negative comments, this style of music is no place for it, go back to your hip-hop or metal videos to plague shit with your lack of musical sense and knowledge, this is fucking classic, have a margarita and mellow the fuck out.....cant believe the criticism for such a 'chill' musician
The real question is how many artists can do an acceptable or better cover of a song over the original?? I can only think of 1 Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" by NIN
personally i like Jimmy's version of this song because of his sailing roots and love for the ocean. say something nice or shut up
Let's all be honest here: I must say I prefer the CSNY version, but seriously, this song is whole lots of awesome but insane to replicate. I challenge anyone here do a better cover than Jimmy. Thank you CSNY, congratulations Mr. Buffett.
classics become popular throughout time because people recognize talent, and they cover these songs and other people realize "hey this music is bangin, who is it", and then you got Parrotheads
Ok Damn it I'm 23 i sail and I love buffet. I like CSNY version the best BUT these are lyrics my man Jimmy could have wrote and at his age now he should be able to do whatever song he wants cause nobody sings better. His voice has barely changed. Besides they should stay in Ohio with those poor college kids and Jimmy Buffet don't need a Southern Man around anyhow.
@kockykaveman Jimmy Buffett is one of the most, if not THE most, successful touring acts out there today. If you don't get or like it that's fine, live and let live. You don't have to hate on Jimmy and the millions of fans that do get and enjoy his music. What's the point?
@kockykaveman Hey kiddo this is a tough song to sing ...why do you think it was originally done by a trio? think you can do a better job. Why dont you upload your cover and let us rate you?
@kockykaveman Hey kiddo this is a tough song to sing ...why do you think it was originally done by a trio? think you can do a better job. Why dont you upload your cover and let us rate you?
I'm sorry if I offend any CSN&Y fans out there but I absolutely cannot stand them. Their voices grate on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard. Jimmy really didn't do that many covers and I've been listening to him for years. He pretty much only does Southern Cross and Brown Eyed Girl at concerts now. Remember most bands when they first get started, with the exception of a very few, did covers of other groups work. I guess I'm still a parakeet at 54 I don't drink LOL! Thanks for the info!
Jimmy is the man!!! His music has a unique sound/style Freeking happy. Listen to any of his songs and one is guaranteed to be in a better mood, Aaaaww Right!!!
I am that "woman-girl who knows love can endure". BTW, D. N. Rippeth, no one has ever 'come along and made me forget about lovin' you'. I'll take that summer of 1981 to my grave.
I was disappointed when I first went to Buffet and heard all the cover songs he does. But they have grown on me. Now I think southern cross is Buffet's best live song.
Yes, Jimmy does a lot of covers. But if you focus just on the songs, you miss the bigger purpose. Jimmy is about a way of life...the Parrothead way. He's about making sure everyone relaxes and has a good time through life and that we don't all walk around with a lit stick of dynamite up our asses. He puts on an AMAZING concert, and Margaritaville Cafe is the greatest restaurant experience EVER.
If you can't understand that, you take life way too seriously.
@MrTVTL A BIG AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!! He is something in music alot of people can't understand, ESPECIALLY IN THE AGE OF HIP/HOP/RAP/KILL/HATE/DESTROY GENERATION!!!!
Okay, you know... I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about but from a third party perspective, you're playing an internet tough guy and thus making an ass of yourself too. I don't care for your opinionated argument, but please don't be a hypocrite. If you think someone's an idiot, just ignore them.
You know what Fudd, you are an idiot that just loves an internet fight. If you all read my posts, I never said once that I don't like Jimmy Buffet. I said that some classics need to be left alone. You really think that I was a Bass Drummer in a Marching Band since 1984?? You're an idiot and you are showing your true colors more and more with each post you make. I like Jimmy but you are missing the entire point of what I was saying.
Having read a few of these posts and acknowledging I'm not a Parrothead though I think of Jimmy fondly. Battlemouse has misunderstood a particularly important and rather obvious fact. He may have been a drummer since 1984, no reason to doubt him on that but....noooooo body knows who he is therefore his disdain for Jimmy is no more relevant than another person appreciation. You're just another guy with an opinion. You don't like Jimmy...people get it..move along.
@battlemouse lol...sounds like some little man is jealous of another's success. You've been in a band since '84 and not a single hit, but you mock a guy who is one of the all time greats. Such a small, little man...
You just don't know when to quit, your opinions are only that, your opinions. No, I don't have any hits because I am not in a band that is big like guns and roses or anything like that, but I am in a band and we do quite well and have since 84. You are just a parrot head and you are really starting to show your ass as one.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh really, I have been a drummer since 1984 and I have no clue about music. HA! Yes a lot of people or so called people have been doing covers for years, but there are some classics that just need to be left alone and this is one of them. And in all honesty, Jimmy Buffet is mostly nothing but covers, he has what? maybe two hits of his own. Nuff said
You are correct cwd68. You have no clue about music. Can you fill a stadium of 100,000 + anywhere you go? Keep drumming to your own beat. You'll get there. devoted parrothead.
@battlemouse1 he doesn't have a lot of hits, but he also doesn't have a lot of covers. If you don't know about him don't talk about him. And playing the bass drum in a marching band doesn't count as being a drummer...
@battlemouse1 Well How many Hits did Warren Zevon have? How many the stevie ray vaughan have? Guess that should be forgotting too not enough hits, right.
Go back to your hit making Lady Gaga and leave the real music alone.
@battlemouse1 FINS VOLCANO MARGARITA VILL PENCIL THIN MUSTACHE THERES MORE THAN 2 BRO, PLUS I LIKE HIS VERSION OF BROWNED EYED GIRL BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL
Oh man Battlemouse. Chill. It's called a COVER. He does covers that are right up there with his own material. Plus, this blows away the last time I saw CSN do it, which wasn't bad, just not spirited like this. (And they really can't harmonize on it in person like on the Daylight Again album, which was just artificially produced, with Timothy B. Schmit, not David Crosby, on it.) 'Hard to believe' your ridiculous atitude. Buffett has earned his four decades of accolades. Try ex-lax.
I've been a Parrothead since birth. Proud to say that my first concert ever was Jimmy when I was in only 4th grade. I wish my generation appreciated good music like this.
@texasyankee34 and that show KICKED ASS!!! seeing Jimmy live is always such an awesome experience, all the way from the performers on stage to the kickass tailgate parties in every parking lot surrounding Pizza Hut park. i hope you had as good a time as we did dude!
@mrdarkshadow64, as I've never seen CSN do this song live, and can only compare recorded "live" versions, I just prefer Buffett's version. Live, it rocked the ampitheatre and all the people on the lawn, all 30,000 of us.
Actually, he does use pyrotechnics, and his fans supply the flamboyant costumes, and he's always had a coupla' dancers...but they sang...WELL...Like Debbie McCall and Nadira Shakira...The amazing thing about Jimmy is his BOOK writing skills rival his story writing skills...He's had books on the New York Times best seller list in three disciplines...Whether ya' like him or not(I like him) ya' gotta' give him his props...

I saw him do this song in Pittsburgh Pa in 1997. Jimmy can take a cover and make it better than the original. Kudos to him for being a shrewd businessman and still touring every year even when he really doesn't need to.
@junglestud Do you REALLY mean to say that this is BETTER than the original? You got rocks in your head. It is very good and I like it - but it is nowhere close to CSN. No way, nohow. Not even close. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoy JB and have since I was little - I just have to disagree with you here. Kudos to Pittsburgh, btw - that's where I'm from as well.
@MrDarkShadow64 I think just because it's the fact that it's jimmy buffett, it is better than the original. This is HIS style........as far as a storyteller goes....maybe not harmonics and the rest, but Jimmy Buffett has lived 40 years inside this song.....I would say that he's traveled more than the crosby....and he's STILL on the run!..........david crosbys is the shit though too.
@Imspacedbro I can agree to disagree :o) Stephen Stills wrote this btw, not David Crosby. A better example of an artist doing a song better than the original is Sammy Davis Jr doing Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles". SD Jr rips my heart out when I watch and hear him do that song... I don't feel it when JJW does it. I have yet to hear JB do a cover "better than the original", but agree that he has talent at what he does. He really isn't in the same league as CSN - either as singer OR writer.
Wow, first time I ever saw this performed when I wasn't getting toward the end of a super-good day of tailgating and enjoying the general fabulousness of a Jimmy Buffett event. Sounds good. I still think it sounds better when I'm up there on the lawn, though, feeling the love with my friends.
Whoever the jackass was that blasted buffet needs only to go to ONE concert and see doctors and lawyers mixing with the "common" people and having a blast doing it....that's what buffets music does. It spans generations and it spans economical gaps..your at a buffet concert your one of us...YOU ARE A PARROT HEAD..lol I'm so glad i didn't fight it when I was a teenager
I thank Mr. Alan Jackson for letting me know about Jimmy Buffett. I first heard of Jimmy when listening to Alan's 1999 album, Under the Influence, when I listened to the album's last song, Margaritaville. I looked up the music of the songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, and from there I've come to known some great damn music.
Buffett has his ship and all her flags are a flyin' .... Flying and Sailing and seeing the Southern Cross for the first time .... nothing better. Someday I will land my plane on a remote Caribbean Island and Freddy and the Fishsticks will be playing Southern Cross!
SinnFein4ever 5 ...very well said. my dad gave me my first buffet song and i have seen him live 4 times since..it does span generations..PARROT HEADS ROCK!
Every summer, my parents would bundle both of us into the car for the long drive to visit the relatives, or to go on family vacation in Florida; and they would load the car up with cassette tapes of the Eagles, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and Jimmy Buffet (along with books, crayons...ect.), and we'd listen to them the whole drive up and the whole drive back.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is absolutely gross, He needs his ass smacked for even doing this song. What a disgrace. Hard to believe how many ppl like this guy just because he looks beach. He has only one good song of his own to his credit. Wake up ppl, he is really stepping low copying great stuff like this.
@battlemouse1 You realize that some of the greatest artists in history, namely Eric Clapton, have covered artists and made the songs their own. Take a chill pill and listen to the song.
@battlemouse1 You have no clue about music... people have been doing remakes for years and adding their own style to it... Grow up and listen to the finished product
I love how no one commented that the publisher of this video matched a home-made video of a live concert with a recorded version of a different live concert, it looks surprisingly in sync though!
wow what a great clip.....thank you for sharing....i love this song both versions are excellent but whoever made this video did a great job with adding the concert feel of the tail gait party....plus jimmy's blonde back up sing is real hot too....thanks again

You are correct cwd68. You have no clue about music. Can you fill a stadium of 100,000 + anywhere you go? Keep drumming to your own beat. You'll get there. devoted parrothead.

@battlemouse1 he doesn't have a lot of hits, but he also doesn't have a lot of covers. If you don't know about him don't talk about him. And playing the bass drum in a marching band doesn't count as being a drummer...

Oh man Battlemouse. Chill. It's called a COVER. He does covers that are right up there with his own material. Plus, this blows away the last time I saw CSN do it, which wasn't bad, just not spirited like this. (And they really can't harmonize on it in person like on the Daylight Again album, which was just artificially produced, with Timothy B. Schmit, not David Crosby, on it.) 'Hard to believe' your ridiculous atitude. Buffett has earned his four decades of accolades. Try ex-lax.

I saw him do this song in Pittsburgh Pa in 1997. Jimmy can take a cover and make it better than the original. Kudos to him for being a shrewd businessman and still touring every year even when he really doesn't need to.
junglestud 10 months ago
@junglestud Do you REALLY mean to say that this is BETTER than the original? You got rocks in your head. It is very good and I like it - but it is nowhere close to CSN. No way, nohow. Not even close. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoy JB and have since I was little - I just have to disagree with you here. Kudos to Pittsburgh, btw - that's where I'm from as well.
MrDarkShadow64 9 months ago
@MrDarkShadow64 I think just because it's the fact that it's jimmy buffett, it is better than the original. This is HIS style........as far as a storyteller goes....maybe not harmonics and the rest, but Jimmy Buffett has lived 40 years inside this song.....I would say that he's traveled more than the crosby....and he's STILL on the run!..........david crosbys is the shit though too.
Imspacedbro 9 months ago
@Imspacedbro I can agree to disagree :o) Stephen Stills wrote this btw, not David Crosby. A better example of an artist doing a song better than the original is Sammy Davis Jr doing Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles". SD Jr rips my heart out when I watch and hear him do that song... I don't feel it when JJW does it. I have yet to hear JB do a cover "better than the original", but agree that he has talent at what he does. He really isn't in the same league as CSN - either as singer OR writer.

I thank Mr. Alan Jackson for letting me know about Jimmy Buffett. I first heard of Jimmy when listening to Alan's 1999 album, Under the Influence, when I listened to the album's last song, Margaritaville. I looked up the music of the songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, and from there I've come to known some great damn music.

I was introduced to it as a little kid.
Every summer, my parents would bundle both of us into the car for the long drive to visit the relatives, or to go on family vacation in Florida; and they would load the car up with cassette tapes of the Eagles, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and Jimmy Buffet (along with books, crayons...ect.), and we'd listen to them the whole drive up and the whole drive back.
I keep Buffet CDs in my car now.
They're great for enduring traffic jams.
