Jimmy Buffett’s longtime backing group, the Coral Reefer Band, has revealed that they plan to “keep the party going,” in accordance with the late musician’s wishes.
“The Coral Reefer Band is second family to all of us,” singer/guitarist Mac McAnally told Billboard in a new interview. “Jimmy wants us to continue and we want to continue.” Though they don’t know exactly what that will entail, McNally said, “There’s ongoing discussions about the best way to do that, the most practical way to do that, and how to do it in a way that is worthy of the legacy that we’re part of.”
He continued, “We’re going to figure it out and we’re going to do something. Whatever the best equation arrives from those discussions is what we’re going to do. I can’t wait until we [figure it out] because we miss being out there,...

The album Jimmy Buffett completed before the “Margaritaville” singer’s death on Sept. 1 will be released on the Sun label November 3, with three songs “Bubbles Up,” “My Gummie Just Kicked In” and “Like My Dog” available to hear now.
Equal Strain on All Parts marks Buffett’s first record of new music since 2020, and among its 14 songs are collaborations with Paul McCartney, Emmylou Harris, Angelique Kidjo and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Buffett died earlier this month of Merkel cell skin cancer.
The album’s tracks – see the complete list below – includes a cover of Bob Dylan’s 1976 song “Mozambique,” with Emmylou Harris, who sang on the Dylan original, joining Buffett for the cover.
McCartney plays bass on “My Gummie Just Kicked In” (listen below) and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band features on “University of Bourbon Street.” “Ti Punch Café” features Angelique Kidjo and “Portugul or Pei” features Lennie Gallant and Will Kimbrough.

Although he’d been coping with health issues during the last few years of his life, Jimmy Buffett remained productive, working on his first record of new music since 2020. That album, Equal Strain on All Parts, due Nov. 3, was completed shortly before his death of skin cancer at 76 on Sept. 1. Three new songs will preview the record: “Bubbles Up,” “My Gummie Just Kicked In,” and “Like My Dog.”
“Bubbles Up,” the first song to be unveiled, is a reflective ballad that, like later Buffett songs such as “Tides,” reveals a deeper side to his music.

Every era has its Norman Fucking Rockwell, and in the middle of the Seventies, that record was Gene Clark’s No Other. With its country-rockified version of Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, the lush, self-consciously poetic album from the former singer and songwriter in the Byrds occupied its own patch of land in 1974. It was a cohesive body of work with a sustained, melancholic mood. Like Del Rey’s equally L.A.-centric record of four-plus decades later, No Other was an LP you could put on and lose...

Ahead of the reissue of Gene Clark’s 1974 cult classic No Other, previously unheard outtakes of the title track and “Some Misunderstanding” have been released. The record will be available on November 8th via 4Ad in honor of the late musician’s 75th birthday.
The eight-track record will be released on vinyl, CD and a deluxe box set, and will feature a recording of “Train Leaves Here This Morning,” a song Clark wrote with Bernie Leadon that the Eagles made famous on their 1972 self-titled debut. The tracks “From a Silver...

Carl Hiaasen's environmentally minded young people's best-seller about burrowing owls whose Florida home is being turned into a construction site makes its big-screen transition as a blandly generic family film.
The plight of the wise old birds of "Hoot" has been dumbed down in the hands of writer-director Wil Shriner, who makes his feature debut here after building a successful career behind the camera helming numerous sitcoms.
While co-presenter Walden Media would like to think it has another "Holes" on its hands, the picture, rated PG for "mild bullying" (as opposed to, say, tepid bullying) isn't likely to come close to reaching those $67.3 million heights, though its target audience may give more of a hoot when it lands on DVD shelves.
Shot extensively in the Sunshine State, Hiaasen's story is told through the eyes of middle-schooler Roy Eberhardt (Logan Lerman), whose peripatetic family has recently moved from Montana to the sleepy Gulf Coast town of Coconut Cove.
One day, while finding himself once again in the school bully's line of fire, Roy becomes intrigued by a mysterious golden-haired, barefooted boy (Cody Linley) who runs past his school bus.
After doing a little detective work, Roy finds out that the kid, called Mullet Fingers by his tomboyish stepsister, Beatrice (Brie Larson), is the perpetrator behind numerous acts of vandalism that have been occurring on the proposed construction site for the newest member of the Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House family.
But Mullet Fingers' bad-boy behavior has been driven by a higher motivation: The site happens to be home to a local population of endangered owls, and if over-reaching executive Chuck Muckle (Clark Gregg) has his way, their nesting place soon will be flatter than one of Mother Paula's flapjacks.
With all its broadly played characters (add Tim Blake Nelson's hapless foreman and Luke Wilson's overly earnest cop to the mix), "Hoot"'s noble ecological cause ends up having little real effect, treating those cute little owls into mere window dressing as other high jinks ensue.
Behind the scenes, "Raging Bull" cinematographer Michael Chapman effectively soaks up all that ambient sunshine, while longtime Floridian Jimmy Buffett contributes breezy songs to the soundtrack in addition to playing the part of Roy's teacher.
Now there's a class you'd want to attend!
