Jimmy's been floating to the surface for some time now. The critical establishment considers him one of those special performers who falls into the category occupied by artists like Nilsson, Newman, and Kristof- ferson. And with each succeeding album his public acclaim has grown considerably - even the First Lady has been sporting a Jimmy Buffett/Coral Reefer t-shirt. His new album has already been chosen a Gavin Album of the Week, and in support of its release Jimmy will soon accompany the Eagles on a major Spring concert tour. With all the momentum he's built, the time has finally come for Reefer madness.
