Author: playthatpodcast July 24, 2026 Duration: 1:06:14
"Play That Rock n' Roll" proudly presents the sixth part of a special mini-series that details the incredible life and career of songwriter Jimmy Buffett. We are joined by my friend Chris to explore Buffett's full studio catalog, track by track. In this episode, we cover the two albums he released during this stretch, in addition to a live album and a series of compilation records he put together with other artists. We also cover the passing of an essential Coral Reefer, Jimmy's longstanding beef with David Allan Coe, the launch of his internet radio station, and a recent and unique Jimmy Buffett tribute concert we attended.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
