Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Jimmy Buffett was diagnosed with an aggressive skin cancer around the time he was wrapping up work on 2020's Life on the Flip Side, but he spent the next four years working steadily, playing annual shows with his Coral Reefer Band and finishing the album that became his last, Equal Strain on All Parts. Arriving about two months after his death, Equal Strain on All Parts doesn't sound like the last testament of a dying man. It's a joyous, sometimes raucous, sometimes reflective album that lives thoroughly in the moment, swinging between sunshine and twilight in a warm, comforting manner. Buffett doesn't shy away from his enduring obsessions -- even the opening "University of Bourbon Street," an unabashed celebration of the rolling beat of New Orleans R&B -- but he's also not operating on autopilot. He's spinning stories and telling jokes, inviting Paul McCartney and Emmylou Harris into the studio to share the good times, playing country-rock ("Close Calls"), sun-bleached ballads ("Equal Strain on All Parts"), and tropical pop ("Like My Dog") with equal fervor, taking the time to cover Bob Dylan, write a tribute to French rock & roller Johnny Hallyday, and craft another working-for-the-weekend anthem with "Nobody Works on Friday." Maybe none of these songs carry the weight of mortality, but taken together, they amount to an effective summation of Buffett's enduring charms. It's not a bad way to say goodbye at all. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett regaled audiences for over five decades with songs about the faces and places from his lifelong journey along the road less traveled. His upcoming album Equal Strain On All Parts is a new chapter in that story as a playful and heartfelt gift to his dedicated fans. Inspired by his grandfather's description of a good nap, the album features some well-known friends, including Paul McCartney, Emmylou Harris, Angelique Kidjo, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
