About Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection

Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection is a Jimmy Buffett greatest hits compilation album consisting of 2 compact discs and 38 songs. The album is notable for several newly recorded and updated versions of songs considered as classics in his repertoire. Missing from the mix is fan-favorite and concert-standard "Boat Drinks". This collection presents 12 new recordings. As this is a career retrospective and aimed at a more casual audience, the album met criticism due to a quarter of the material being new recordings rather than focus on the original incarnations of the songs. The following six songs are re-recordings of previously released songs: "The Captain and the Kid", "He Went to Paris", "In the Shelter", "Knees of My Heart", "Saxophones", and "Son of a Son of a Sailor". The new version of "Son of a Son of a Sailor" is a duet with Nadirah Shakoor'. The following four songs are new live recordings: "Desperation Samba (Halloween in Tijuana)", "Holiday", "The Pascagoula Run" and "A Pirate Looks at Forty". Buffett also newly recorded two covers: ""Everybody's Talkin'" by Fred Neil (but made famous in a recording by Harry Nilsson) and The Beach Boys' "Sail On Sailor". Despite being included as the original studio version, "Volcano"'s fourth verse has been rewritten and overdubbed
