But then how do you know what the songs sound like?

I dont... My curiosity levels about Jimmy Buffett are not exactlyhigh. I just wanted to know how I'd never heard of him.... and as he is a C&W artist I am no longer surprised
C&W penetration of the UK is, to say the least of it, "minimal"

See... he's not a country western artist. You'd know this if you listened to some of his songs.

How is that NOT C&W? every single one is

sorry "Country".. I grew up saying C&W as a catch all... but I guess thats old fashioned?

AUDIO SAMPLES!

I'll let others weigh in on this, but I don't consider it country music. It's a rather unique sound, a blend of Carribbean influence, island music, folk, rock n roll, partying music, drinking/smoking, etc.

Maybe as a non-American you can't discern the difference, but Jimmy Buffett is definitely not country.



ETA: I did a Google search for what genre people consider Jimmy Buffett and one I liked was "Gulf and Western".
