"I enjoyed Brent Burns first C.D. "Livin The Life" greatly, but I think I like "Perpetual Vacation" even more! The songs sound more mature and polished, yet they still remind me very much of early Buffett. If you are a Parrotthead who loves Buffett circa "A1A" & "3/4 Time" Brent Burns is for you. "Perpetual Vacation" contains plenty of clever rhymes and wordplay ( check out "Laid Back In L(ower) A(labama)", "Rich White People" , "Mean People Suck" and "God Don't Care What You Wear" ) and also has several sensitive ballads too. The sound and production sounds better on this C.D. , and a female back-up singer nicely assists Brent on several tunes. I listened to this C.D. over & over on a recent beach vacation in Florida, and I never grew tired of it. When I put it on the stereo at home, I'm back on the Gulf of Mexico for about 40 minutes. Thanks Brent !!"
Buffett-esque

"Picked up this CD because I already have all of Buffett's and wanted to expand my beach music. Liked it so much I picked up all 3 of his CDs. Of the three, this one has been my favorite for continual listening -- the other two have more cute novelty songs [which are fun for groups]."
