{"product_id":"buffett-backstories-fifty-years-fifty-songs-plus-one","title":"Buffett Backstories: Fifty Years, Fifty Songs—Plus One","description":"Now updated to feature posthumous release of the song “Bubbles Up,” along with an additional new entry for Buffett’s first cover recording, “Ballard of Spider John.” This book follows the people and places who inspired Jimmy Buffett songs, brought to life by Key West native Scott Atwell, who celebrated the 50th anniversary of the singer’s arrival to the island in 1971 with 50 backstories (now plus one) of his most beloved songs. Even the price of the print edition ($19.71) is a nod to the anniversary. From the original tune that forged Buffett’s path to Key West (Railroad Lady) to the song that changed everything (Margaritaville), including never-before published accounts of the “pirate” Phil Clark, Buffett Backstories connects with the people and places that have inspired generations of Parrot Heads. Former Coral Reefer Band road manager Bob “LipBalm” Liberman provides zany anecdotes in the foreword, while the afterword is anchored by a map of Buffett’s Key West haunts.
