Jimmy Buffett is firmly entrenched in the "well-traveled troubadour" genre recently popularized by Jim Croce. He sings with a big, friendly voice and deals in topics peculiar to the everyday existence of the "little man." On Living and Dying in 3/4 Time he further flashes the humor and comic sensibilities he so finely displayed on "The Great Filling Station Holdup" and "Let's Get Drunk and Screw," his two minor hits of 1973. Sounding a little like Roger Miller, he also touches a tragically cynical hobo's stance on "Brand New Country Star" and "Saxophones" — the latter exposing the inherent futility of acoustic-based music. Largely autobiographical in tone, Buffett's heart-warming album is immediately appealing to a wide audience.
