Some Parrotheads consider this Jimmy Buffett's best album overall, which may or may not be the case, but there's no question that his songwriting here is at something of a peak. The most impressive and ambitious track is "Woman Goin' Crazy on Caroline Street," a character study of a Blanche Dubois-ish strumpet co-written with cult folkie Steve Goodman. The funniest is "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Don't Love Jesus," a great honky-tonker about an epic hangover on the morning after (with somebody doing a pretty good imitation of the Oak Ridge Boys on the chorus).

Meanwhile, the delicate, folk-y "Something So Feminine About a Mandolin" is one of Buffett's all-time prettiest tunes mated to one of his most perceptive lyrics. "Kick It in Second Wind" is a wry rocker with a story line that will be familiar to any bar band vet who's ever played to an empty house at two o' clock in the morning.
