What genre is Jimmy Buffett?

I'd say country beach music (is that a genre?)

Wikipedia says his first album "Down To Earth" (1970) was folk rock.

He has done country & western albums too.

Buffett's album, License to Chill, released 2004.

This album, topped the U.S. pop albums chart for the first time in his three-decade career.

So he's a singer of all types as you said.

Lets just call his music "Laid Back"

Jimmy Buffet Genre

Yahoo Radio Have Him On Their Country Music Listings But From The Sound Of Your Description That May Be Too Narrow A Genre To Categorise Him In. Sorry That's The Best I Can Offer.

Late 80's, Early 90's country western style music. A majority of it now by Jimmy Buffett is sunshine and beach music displaying intrest in Mexican and Spanish girls and Caribbean type scenerios. A few of his songs are folk, but like 2 or 3. Moderatly, most of his songs share the attribute of acoustic. Jimmy usually sings all of his duets with a guy named Alan Jackson.

Absolutley, undoubtedly, YES! Jimmy's in a class by himself--he can't be defined

It is call TROP ROCK for tropical rock and roll. Even though it is a combination of country, folk, rae gae, and some rock and a little tad of rap. Love the music and lyrics.

pop-rock Caribbean.... which ever it is hes great and makes me feel like laying at the beach and drinking a pina` Calida

Country, at heart. The rest is cross-over stuff.
