Living and Dying in 3/4 Time is Jimmy Buffett before the Margaritaville empire, a wry and tender country-folk record offered here on CD.
Released in 1974, it followed A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean and gave him his first real taste of wider radio success. The songs mix salty humour with surprising heart, balancing tales of drifters and dreamers with moments of real longing. The beach-bum persona was taking shape, but the songwriting here is sharper and more personal than the image suggests.
"Come Monday" is the standout, a homesick love song sung from a lonely road with a warm, unhurried melody, and it remains one of the most loved songs in his catalogue. "Pencil Thin Mustache" opens the record on a nostalgic grin, full of old-movie references, while "Brahma Fear" and "Ringling, Ringling" show off his knack for colourful, roguish storytelling.
Pedal steel, acoustic guitars and easy rhythms give the whole thing a sunny, back-porch feel, perfect for a slow afternoon, and Buffett's easy, conversational vocals make every tale sound like it's being told across a bar.
For Parrotheads, it's a foundation stone of the Buffett story. For anyone new to him, it's a charming introduction to a songwriter whose good-time reputation sometimes hid how well he could turn a phrase.
