He shouldn't be compared to anyone really ...... a fairly unique style
if you like buffett you should give jim morris a look ... good stuff as well .. great lyrics
I prefer buffett to marley, although I really like marley
beside the style differences there is also a big difference in message
either way, you don't have to like jimmy, but you do need to respect what he's done
He has one of the most loyal fan bases, a career that has lasted for around 40 releases (including compilations & live shows) and 3 decades of work
5 have gone gold, 6 platinum and 2 multiplatinum (including his box set which has sold over 4 million)
His tours are one of the top grossing every year .. he owns his own label, does whatever project he feels and has complete freedom in his career
Most musicians would kill for this
He isn't the most talented, but he'll put himself on the line, write his own stuff and simply be himself
dismiss it if you may ... but i'll take something like that over the mass produced pop crap out there today

nor do I
but you have to give it up to someone who has accomplished all that with not a single video that has been played, very limited radio airplay (like 3 songs - 1 and a half hits) and a grassroots following
I'm not saying you have to like it .. but you have to respect it
