Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, Jimmy Buffett's seventh studio album, came out on ABC in January 1977, and it's the record that turned a cult favourite of FM radio into a star. Norbert Putnam produced, stirring country, folk, reggae, pop and bar-band rock into one loose-limbed, sunburnt brew that Buffett would keep serving up on Son of a Son of a Sailor and Volcano.
"Margaritaville" is the one that put him all over AM radio, the biggest single he ever had, and it's a lazy, rueful singalong with a hangover under the grin. The title song sways along in the same easy-going key. Critics liked it, audiences loved it, and it's still the biggest-selling studio record he ever made, the moment he stopped being a minor hitmaker and became a headliner whose records sold in the millions.
