Jimmy Buffett's Posthumous Songs: A Melodic Legacy
Jimmy Buffett completed his final album, "Equal Strain on All Parts," shortly before his death. The album, set to release on November 3, features three new songs, including "Bubbles Up," a reflective ballad co-written with Will Kimbrough. The album also includes guest appearances by Paul McCartney, Emmylou Harris, Angélique Kidjo, and the Preservation Hall Jazz band. McCartney praised Buffett's vocal performance on "Bubbles Up" as the best he had ever heard. Another new song, "My Gummie Just Kicked In," was inspired by a dinner conversation with McCartney and his wife. Buffett's album reflects his desire to be remembered for bringing joy and happiness to people.
