Is he country, pop, or rock and roll; what is Jimmy Buffett?

He really is in his own genre but i guess the closest two would be a combo of both modern folk and country. I mean how can u place a surfer/cowboy in any category?

Mississippi - The Billy Gibson Band Angola reformatory Rodeo - record Maclean highway to Rio - The Hollywood Blue Flames 'Olneyville Stomp - Bob Angell's Blues Outlet way Down South - Steve Krase & the In Crowd manhattan - The Finns One Foot in Texas - lengthy John Hunter enable or not that's in Memphis - Fried Okra Jones Crescent city Starlights - Walter "Wolfman" Washington

Well he did start out on a rock radio station, but since he is so diverse in his music, the country stations or country fans loved him. I would say almost his own genre, but since he has been around for so many generations, would that be fair. I think I would say rocknroll.

I personally classify him as his own genre and that would be the "Jimmy genre"

All three. But he is mostly rock.

I had to come back and edit this question.

This is from Buffett's myspace page:

Jimmy Buffett

Rock / Surf / Country

southern rock / folk music

I would consider him more pop........I really can't stand him myself but my sister-in-law and brother go to his concerts alot (parrot heads)......but they never had taste in music.

Good luck with your paper!

Jimmy who?
