He has a devoted base of fans known as "Parrotheads".

Buffett also owned a home in [[Saint Barthélemy|Saint Barts]], a Caribbean island where he lived on and off in the early 1980s while he was part owner of the Autour de Rocher hotel and restaurant. During the summer months, he would travel the East Coast on his sailboat.

During this time, Buffett could be frequently found [[busking]] for tourists in [[New Orleans]]. In the fall of 1971 after an impromptu audition, Buffett was hired by a Nashville club called the Exit/In to open for recording artist Dianne Davidson. Fellow country singer [[Jerry Jeff Walker]] took him to [[Key West]] on a busking expedition in November 1971.<ref>{{cite book |last=Corcoran |first=Tom |title=Jimmy Buffett The Key West Years |year=2006 |publisher=Ketch & Yawl Press |location=Marathon FL |isbn=978-0-9788949-0-0 |page=9}}</ref> Buffett then moved to Key West and began establishing the easy-going beach-bum persona he became known for.

He was a regular visitor to the [[Caribbean]] island of [[Saint Barts]] and other islands where he gets inspiration for many of his songs and some of the characters in his books. With the untimely death of friend and mentor [[Jim Croce]] in September 1973, ABC/Dunhill Records tapped Buffett to fill his space. Earlier, Buffett had visited Croce's farm in Pennsylvania and met with Croce in Florida.<ref>Steve Eng. ''The Man from Margaritaville Revealed.'' Page 144.</ref><ref>Mark Humphrey. ''Jimmy Buffett Scrap Book.'' Page 120.</ref> Buffett's second release was 1973's ''[[A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean]]''. Albums ''[[Living & Dying in 3/4 Time]]'' and ''[[A1A (album)|A1A]]'' both followed in 1974, ''[[Havana Daydreamin']]'' appeared in 1976, and ''[[Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes]]'' followed in 1977, which featured the breakthrough hit song "[[Margaritaville]]". [[File:Jimmy Buffett at Clemson (Taps 1977).png|thumb|Buffett performing at [[Clemson University]] in 1977]] During the 1980s, Buffett made far more money from his tours than his albums and became known as a popular concert draw. He released a series of albums during the following 20 years, primarily to his devoted audience, and also branched into writing and merchandising. In 1985, Buffett opened a "Margaritaville" retail store in Key West, and in 1987, he opened the Margaritaville Cafe. In 1994, Buffett dueted with [[Frank Sinatra]] on a cover of "[[Mack the Knife]]" on Sinatra's final studio album, "[[Duets II (Frank Sinatra album)|Duets II]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1994-11-15-1994319146-story.html|title=Sinatra and his collaborators end up odd couples in the listless 'Duets II'|author=Considine, J.

Broadway showed little interest in the play (following the failure of Paul Simon's ''[[The Capeman]]''), and it ran only for six weeks in Miami. He released an album of songs from the musical in 1998. In January 1996, Buffett's [[Grumman HU-16]] airplane named ''[[Hemisphere Dancer]]'' was shot at by Jamaican police, who believed the craft to be smuggling marijuana. The aircraft sustained minimal damage. The plane was carrying Buffett, as well as [[U2]]'s [[Bono]], his wife and two children, and [[Island Records]] producer [[Chris Blackwell]], and co-pilot Bill Dindy. The Jamaican government acknowledged the mistake and apologized to Buffett, who penned the song "Jamaica Mistaica" for his ''Banana Wind'' album based on the experience.<ref name="negril">{{cite news|last=Gardner|first=Claudia|date=26 July 2021|title="Jamaica Mistaica" – 25 years after Negril police mistook Jimmy Buffet's seaplane for a "weed plane" and "wet it up"|url=https://negriltimes.com/jamaica-mistaica-25-years-after-negril-police-mistook-jimmy-buffets-seaplane-for-a-weed-plane-and-rained-bullets-on-it/|work=Negril Times|access-date=27 May 2022}}</ref> Buffett's 1999 song "[[Math Suks]]" caused a brief media frenzy.

Buffett's album ''[[License to Chill]]'', released on July 13, 2004, sold 238,600 copies in its first week of release according to [[Nielsen Soundscan]]. With this, Buffett topped the U.S. pop albums chart for the first time in his career. Buffett continued to tour regularly until shortly before his death, although later in his career, he shifted to a more relaxed schedule of around 20–30 dates, with infrequent back-to-back nights, preferring to play only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This schedule provided the title of his [[Buffett Live: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays|1999 live album]]. In the summer of 2005, Buffett teamed up with [[Sirius Satellite Radio]] and introduced [[Radio Margaritaville]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.siriusxm.com/channellineup# |title=Channel Lineup – SiriusXM Radio |publisher=Siriusxm.com |access-date=April 3, 2012}}</ref> Until this point, Radio Margaritaville was solely an online channel. Radio Margaritaville has remained on the service through Sirius' merger with [[XM Radio]] and currently appears as XM 24. The channel broadcasts from the Margaritaville Resort Orlando in [[Kissimmee, Florida]]. In August 2006, he released the album ''[[Take the Weather with You]]''. The song "Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On" on this album is in honor of the survivors of 2005's [[Hurricane Katrina]]. Buffett's rendition of "Silver Wings" on the same album was made as a tribute to [[Merle Haggard]].

Buffett wrote the music and lyrics and Wouk wrote the book for the show. ''Don't Stop the Carnival'' debuted in [[Miami| Miami, Florida]] in 1997 to negative reviews from critics. In response, the producers approached Buffett and told him that Wouk needed to be fired and a more experienced playwright needed to rewrite Wouk's script. Buffett refused to remove Wouk from the project and any further productions of the show were canceled. Buffett turned the show into an [[Don't Stop the Carnival (Jimmy Buffett album)|album]] that was released in 1998. A new musical, ''[[Escape to Margaritaville]]'', opened at the [[La Jolla Playhouse]] in [[San Diego]] in May 2017 and ran until July. The show then performed limited runs in [[New Orleans]], [[Houston]], and [[Chicago]], and was well received by critics. The show features a book by [[Greg Garcia (producer)|Greg Garcia]] and [[Mike O'Malley]] and uses Buffett's classic songs, some of which he rewrote the lyrics to in order to better fit in the context of the story. The show began previews at the [[Marquis Theatre]] on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] on February 16, 2018, and officially opened on March 15 under the direction of [[Tony Award|Tony]] winner [[Christopher Ashley]]. The Broadway production received mixed reviews from New York critics. In June that same year, the producers announced that the production would close on July 1 after 29 previews and 124 regular performances.

The concert was Buffett's response to the [[BP]] oil disaster in the Gulf. The concert was aired on [[Country Music Television|CMT]] television. The 35,000 free tickets were given away within minutes to help draw people back to Alabama's beaches. Buffett played several popular songs including "Fins", "Son of a Son of a Sailor", "A Pirate Looks at Forty" and modified versions of "Margaritaville" (where the lyrics were changed in the chorus to "now I know, it's all BP's fault") and "When the Coast is Clear" (the lyrics in the chorus also referencing the Deepwater Horizon disaster: "That's when it always happens / When greed and crude collide"). The concert featured [[Jesse Winchester]] and [[Allen Toussaint]]. ==Concerts and tours== ==="The Big 8" and standard songs=== Before 2003, songs almost always played at every Buffett show were known as the Big&nbsp;8. The "Big 8" were: # "[[Margaritaville]]" # "[[Come Monday]]" # "[[Fins (song)|Fins]]" # "[[Volcano (Jimmy Buffett song)|Volcano]]" # "[[A Pirate Looks at Forty]]" # "[[Cheeseburger in Paradise]]" # "[[Why Don't We Get Drunk]]" # "[[Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes (song)|Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes]]" All of the “Big Eight” songs were released prior to 1980 and all were included on the compilation album ''[[Songs You Know By Heart]]'', which is Buffett's best-selling album. "[[One Particular Harbour (song)|One Particular Harbor]]" was added to the regular set list in the late 1990s, with "[[Son of a Son of a Sailor (song)|Son of a Son of a Sailor]]" and "[[It's Five O'Clock Somewhere]]" in the early 2000s. After 2004, "Why Don't We Get Drunk" was removed from the full-time list (although still played on some tours), creating a list of ten songs that are played at almost all of Buffett's concerts. Versions of [[Van Morrison]]'s "[[Brown Eyed Girl]]" and [[Crosby, Stills and Nash]]'s "[[Southern Cross (Crosby, Stills and Nash song)|Southern Cross]]" have been included on every tour during this time, although not at every performance.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/stats/jimmy-buffett-33d61029.html?year=2021|title=Jimmy Buffett Songs Played by Year – 2021|website=Setlist.fm|access-date=August 10, 2022}}</ref> In the years 2010–2016, in 262 advertised appearances Buffett performed the song "Margaritaville" 248 times, "Son of a Son of a Sailor" 236, "Volcano" 235, "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" 235, "Come Monday" 235, "Fins" 232, "A Pirate Looks at Forty" 232, "Cheeseburger in Paradise" 228, "Five O'Clock Somewhere" 225, "One Particular Harbour" 221, and "Southern Cross" 220.
