Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at George Martin's AIR Studios in Montserrat, 'Volcano' perfectly distills the relaxed, Caribbean-infused aesthetic of Jimmy Buffett's most commercially potent era. The album's titular track and 'Fins' became massive anthems, blending country-pop sensibilities with laid-back, tropical rock arrangements. It cemented his reputation as the ultimate architect of escapist, sun-soaked singer-songwriter pop.
