#114 – Kick It In Second Wind

This month, we are traveling back to the seventies, to “classic” Buffett, to the Key West days and the music that was part of Jimmy’s transition from folk/country to creating his own sound, which would later be termed Gulf and Western. The song we are highlighting is one of those songs that not only connect to the life that Jimmy was living at the time, as a new artist making a living touring honky tonks and beach bars and a few hotel lounges, along with the party-hard-until-you-drop mentality that came with it. Kick It In Second Wind is funny, truthful and a little bit rowdy, and captures Jimmy’s life at that time in lyrical detail.
