Album Review
Having gotten back the record-making habit with Fruitcakes, Jimmy Buffett repaired to the Monroe County Library in Key West during the winter of 1994-1995 with cohorts Russ Kunkel, Jay Oliver, Roger Guth, and Peter Mayer, where they read fiction and came up with most of the songs on Barometer Soup. Hence, we have "Remittance Man," drawn from Mark Twain's Following the Equator, and "Diamond as Big as the Ritz," loosely adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story. Typically, there are also the comedy numbers "Bank of Bad Habits" and "Don't Chu-Know" and an appropriation consistent with Buffett's philosophy, James Taylor's "Mexico." Much of the music is low-key, though there are a couple of up-tempo tunes to add to the concert repertoire. As Jimmy Buffett albums go, this is another one.

Old Parrothead's Favorite
by CokernutI've been a Parrothead for years..... this is my favorite Buffett album. Bringing to life the vibe and charachters from his books and general attitude toward life. Barefoot Children and the title track are my favorites, there is nothing dissapointing on this album. Buy It!!!
One of the Best
by CliffyB4One of the BEST Buffett albums ever. No matter how you feel, this album has something for you.
One of Buffett's better albums...
by SaxMan_I absolutely love this album. Barometer Soup is such a stereotypical Buffett song. For the most part, the remainder of the songs are slow ballads, with Remittance man and Barefoot Children being the stand-out songs. Lage Nom Ai is a nice up-tempo change of pace. The highlight of this album for me, is oddly enough, the cover of Taylor's "Mexico". You would have thought Buffett wrote the song himself!
