Jimmy's Favourite Music, Books etc.

Post by woodruth »

Hi all, first post, nice to be here!
Is there a list online (apologies if I've missed it!) that's collected Jimmy's favourite albums, books, films etc.
I know he talks in interviews and elsewhere of all the things he likes I just didn't know if this had been collated in one resource?
Thanks!

I'd start with A Pirate Looks at Fifty if you haven't already. I know it's a bit dated now (25 years old), but you'll get the gist of the things he likes from the lists he makes in there...

Otherwise, I doubt a centralized list exists, and to be honest, it's Jimmy's life.

I remember Jimmy listening to Bob Marley Legend album a lot. You could start there. Gordon Lightfoot, Jonni Mitchell, The Beatles, Mac Mackinlay, Harry Nilsson, Willie Nelson, Neville Brothers, Jerry Jeff Walker, Steve Goodman. Many on the Radio Margaritaville list of artists.

Some of the other books I have read that were referenced by him: "Wind, Sand and Stars" (which is freaking awesome); Far Tortuga (mediocre), I am going to do "Vagabond's House" and then "Floridays" both by D. Blanding. I have never seen "Adventures in Paradise" but will do it eventually.
