- Buffett Is The Wizard
Off To See The Lizard was released in conjunction with Jimmy Buffett's first literary effort, Tales From Margaritaville. The book contains expanded versions of several of the songs included on the album. As the book suggests, the songs have a literary quality and are amongst the most well constructed and written in his career. "Take Another Road" is great as is the jaunty "Boomerang Love", the wistful "I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever", "Pascgoula Run" and the memorable title track. The album is the last truly great record he has made. M. Boutte (Houston, Tx United States) - August 07, 2001

- Off to See the Lizard
This was the first in a series of albums that broke the Jimmy Buffett mold. While all the songs still have his signature Carribean flavor, they show a more thoughtful approach to song writing and offer a glimpse of what Buffett really has to offer. The songs are even better if you've read the book Margaritaville because many of the songs were included in the book as short stories. This is album is an excellent introduction to Jimmy Buffett's later work. Customer review - September 12, 1998

- Great RoadTrip music
This is a CD to take on Roadtrips. From the title track, to the lively _Pascagoula Run_, this CD will have you rocking behind the wheel. The sadder _Changing Channels_ evokes memories of old loves and wrong choices.
At least, _That's my Story and I'm sticking to it_.

- a gem from the 80's!
This is one of the very few records form the 80's that I love. It has his carribean flavor adn catchy melodies in such songs as "Off to See the Lizard" and his moving ballads like "Changing Channels". I strongly recommend this cd! It has much more meaning once you read "Tales form Margaritaville", which is a great book by it's self. - Love it!
I have been a Jimmy Buffet fan for a very long time, and I love all of his music. This just gets me one CD closer to owning all his music. |
