Songs You Know By Heart

Songs You Know By Heart not only captures Jimmy Buffett's heyday of hits up to 1985, but it's also the compilation where vestiges of Buffett's former country-toned aspirations can be heard. Not everything here sounds rooted in country, of course. "Cheeseburger In Paradise" and the cowbell heavy "Fins" stand their ground on their own playful sound, and "Why Don't We Get Drunk" is honky-tonk right down to the title.
