Soon, it became clear that Nashville wasn’t suiting Buffett. He recorded a second album with a string band that the label shelved — they said it was lost, but found it after he became a star — his marriage fell apart, and he was left adrift, playing folk clubs across the South. In 1971, while in Miami for a pending gig, he called Coconut Grove resident Walker, who invited Buffett to stay in his guesthouse while they tinkered on Walker’s wrecked 1947 Packard.
Buffett remained at cruising altitude for a few years, amassing signature tunes such as “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “,” but by the middle of the 1980s, he recognized that the tide was turning; his generation was becoming the old guard. “I figured the age of the singer-songwriter, people like me and Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, I figured those days were about over and I better deal with it.”
Buffett published his first book, the short story collection “Tales From Margaritaville,” in 1989, opening up a side career as an author. He wrote his first novel, “Where is Joe Merchant?” in 1992, published a memoir titled “A Pirate Looks at Fifty” in 1998, then proceeded to write children’s books and novels over the decades.
