Jimmy's fifth, and arguably, best LP. Released in December 1974, this is probably his most biographical album. And it contains what many Parrot Heads believe to be the best of the Big 8 (Before 2003, songs played at every Buffett show were known as the Big 8) – "A Pirate Looks At Forty".

In the song “Migration,” which chronicles his failed first marriage and his subsequent move to Florida, he sings “I got a Caribbean soul I can barely control and some Texas hidden here in my heart.” This perfectly describes the music of Jimmy Buffett, who incorporates steel drums, harmonica, and slide guitar to tell stories about life by the sea. While many of the songs for which he is famous involve a life of leisure told with a keen sense of humor, Buffett is more thoughtful than your average beachcomber. In fact, the best moments on this album are the slower tunes such as “A Pirate Looks at Forty” where a reflective Buffett looks back at his lifelong love of the ocean and his place in the universe. A-1-A may be Buffett’s most autobiographical album, as he sings about making music on his own terms in the opening up-tempo “Makin’ Music for Money” and tells stories of his idyllic childhood in “Life Is Just a Tire Swing.” As with most of Buffett’s work, his stories convey the importance of enjoying life, living free, and doing as you please. This is one of Jimmy Buffett’s classic ’70s albums that established his persona, and it is a perfect introduction to his music. – AMG
A1A [ABC/Dunhill, 1974] On side one, apparently running out of things to say, he includes among three nondescript covers an Alex Harvey song called “Makin’ Music for Money.” Buffett would never do this, which is why he’s recording his third album in a year and a half, right? On side two, however, he remembers his message: he’s a beach bum and always will be. Let’s hope so. B- Robert Christgau
