Horny rock buffets Boarding House
San Francisco Examiner September 11, 1975
By Philip Elwood
Back for his third time in an eleven month period, the often outrageous horny-rock performer Jimmy Buffett played last night to an overflow audience at the Boarding House - he'll be around for only three nights, and tickets are already scarce for this evening's and tomorrow's first shows.
Buffett, the sometimes pride of Key West, Florida, and his country-funk backup quartet is a particular favorite of a rather rowdy, beer-drinking, good-time-music type of fan - and they turn out and turn on for him.
He sings well enough, writes most of his own material, plays some guitar, mc's beautifully, fea-tures his colleagues and delivers as good an hour's performance as anyone in the league.
Buffett manages to tight-rope the tricky area between being too cutesy-funny and being fraternity-style dirty. He has a kind of verbal swagger like a country-western auto mechanic yet intersperses his gamier lyric material, and songs, with a few touching ballads.
His "Great Filling Station Holdup," "Pencil Thin Mustache" and "Door Number Three" (all of which he presented last night) are contemporary classics in the vein of "Alice's Restaurant" or "American Pie," but somewhat less long winded and rather more tongue-in-cheek. Buffett has swing and a sense of humor; sometimes I find the feeling of Dan Hicks and the hot Licks in his work. Mose Allison also seems to be an influence.
When he wails, "Please Take Your Drunken (Truckin') Fifteen Year Old Girlfriend Home," he introduces it as a "trash song," but he and his fans dig it, regardless. "Dallas" ("pass it by") or "Big Rig" ("wish I was a big rig, rollin' on home to you") or his older "They Don't Dance Like Carman (Miranda) Any More" all have a gritsy, earthy touch combined with a surprisingly whimsical and sophisticated lyric humor.
His bandsmen have, even in the year's time, tightened up their ensemble and, on such as "Filling Station," have achieved a first rate jazz sound; on "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season," guitarist Roger Bartlett and pianist-harpist "Fingers" Taylor swapped solos and on a number of tunes, like "Grapefruit Juicy Fruit" or "Havana Day Dreamin'," the instrumental swing matches the vocal (lyric) mood.
Buffett is a controlled humorist (unusual among country-folk-rock front man) and helps sell his music through his ingratiating manner.

I was at this concert at the boarding house. Was there for the dinner set and we stayed on through the cocktail set. That second set, there were probably maybe 10 people in the whole building. What a great intimate setting. Buffet asked us, what's your favorite song you want to hear and my friend said why don't you play your favorite song. You could tell that caught him by surprise. Then he played, the captain and the kid. What an unbelievable night that was
