Last Saturday night I saw Mac McAnnally perfom a special show in Gulfport, Mississippi. Tonight I see him again with The Coral Reefer Band which starts a three city tour in Orange Beach, Alabama. Anyway it is summer rime and the first one without Jimmy Buffett in a long dang time. We will pit Kenny Chesney who had a hit with this one and Mac's late boss and friend Jimmy Buffett.
Contender One...Kenny
Contender Two: Jimmy Buffett
Tell me who gets your vote I will post the results in a week or two. In the maintime enjoy your summer and fins up!
I'm going with Kenny Chesney. He sounds better doing it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know this song. Both covers were good but I prefer Kenny Chesney's version. He put more emotion into it. Happy August! ☀️
ReplyDeleteJimmy Buffett did a fine job, but my vote goes to Kenny Chesney. I liked the East Tennessee references especially.

I must go with Jimmy Buffett who just makes this song a little less country for me:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like Kenny Chesney wins! ☺
ReplyDeleteVOTE = KENNY CHESNEY
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all the versions, but Kenny's just seemed fresher and stronger. ~Ed.
It is sad Jimmy Buffet is gone - he will be missed in the musical world. I have to give my vote to Kenny on this one though. Not just cuz I like him better than Jimmy, but also Jimmy seemed to need a lot of back up help singing this. Tough to get old, and I'm proof of that.
