Overview

• Jimmy Buffett's 32nd and final studio album, 'Equal Strain on All Parts', has been released posthumously, reflecting his life journey and featuring collaborations with Paul McCartney and Emmylou Harris.
• Producer Mac McAnally reveals that Buffett was very proud of this album, and was joyous upon hearing its sequence, hinting that he was aware it would be his last.
• The 14-track album includes both original songs and covers, such as Bob Dylan’s 'Mozambique', and it contains themes and sounds typical of Buffett, from island lilt to gentle life wisdom.
• 'Bubbles Up', a song inspired by naval advice given to scuba divers, is considered a fitting farewell message from Buffett, with its theme of hope, resilience, and the guiding light to resurface when feeling submerged.
• In addition to the album, footage of the recording process exists, which could potentially be used for a documentary about the making of 'Equal Strain on All Parts'.
