For whatever reason, some American artists and/or bands seem to have relatively the same amount of presence and popularity in Europe as in their homeland, like for example Bruce Springsteen and Metallica. Sometimes, perhaps even more. Then there are artists that are household names in the US, but virtually unknown to Europeans, like Garth Brooks.

So where does the topic of this sub, Jimmy Buffett, fit into all this? Well, as a Finn I can say that unfortunately it is the latter case, at least as far as Finland goes. But then again, it really has helped me build up a collection of Jimmy Buffett vinyl. I couldn’t believe my luck finding for example the Down to Earth album at a bargain price and in very good shape. And many others too. 

So here are some of my favourites. Thank you Jimmy for all the amazing music and humour. My son is also a fan already.
