Living and Dying in ¾ Time, Jimmy Buffett's fourth album, came out on Dunhill in February 1974, his second for the label and the second of the Key West records he made with producer Don Gant. It's where the beach-bum troubadour starts to come into focus: country picking with the salt air blowing through it, a little folk, a little calypso sway, and the easygoing, island-escapist persona that would carry him for the rest of his career.
"Come Monday" is the one that broke through, a gentle, swaying ballad that became his first top-40 hit. Dunhill, flush with money from Jim Croce's enormous sales after his death the previous September, put real muscle behind promoting this one.
