Everything about License To Chill totally explained
License to Chill is a
2004 album by
Jimmy Buffett and is his
only album to reach #1 on the
Billboard 200 album chart.
License to Chill, released on
13 July 2004, sold 238,600 copies in its first week of release according to
Nielsen SoundScan.
On this album, Buffett has many
duets with noted country music artists, on country songs including "
Hey Good Lookin’" by
Hank Williams. With this, Buffett topped the
U.S. country albums chart for the first time in his three-decade career making some longtime fans feel that Buffett has alienated them by abandoning his traditional "
gulf and western" sound for a more commercial and thus mainstream act. Buffett perhaps explores the problem in his song "Simply Complicated" in the line "Am I country, pop or rock and roll, I know they're related..."
This is also the name of his 2004 concert tour, which included two shows at
Boston's
Fenway Park. In November 2005,
Mailboat Records released
Live at Fenway Park, a live recording of the two shows. Included was a 55 minute DVD of the show.
