well there are a few singer-songwriters i love. Lightfoot, Buffett and Kristofferson are pretty well my top three. (there's also Chapin, Denver, Cat Stevens,James Taylor etc.)
JB writes some fabulous stuff and he does other songwriters songs so well. If all you know are the "hits" you need to check out the other songs on his many albums. A JB concert is something everyone should enjoy at least once in their lives. WHile I love the quiet shows that Lightfoot puts on I love the JB extravaganzas just as much...and I have said for moer than twenty years "when I come back I'm comin' back as Jimmy Buffett." He's had quite the life, he loves the tropics and he loves to love life.
"Come Monday" was my first JB song and even now when I hear it I get the same feelings I do when I hear IYCRMM - my first Lightfoot song as a teen.
