Shop with confidence • This Vintage LP from 1973 is CLEANED & PLAY-GRADED 👍 VG+/VG++ Condition 'A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean' is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was originally released in June of 1973 as his first album for Dunhill. The title of the album is a play on the country song "A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation" by Marty Robbins, and it contains several of what later became Buffett's most popular songs. The album was recorded at outlaw country singer Tompall Glaser's recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee. It marks the first reference to Buffett's backup band as "The Coral Reefer Band" and is the first album on which long-time Coral Reefers Michael Utley and Greg "Fingers" Taylor play. The album reached #43 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The single of 'The Great Filling Station Holdup' reached #58 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and 'Grapefruit Juicy Fruit' peaked at #23 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker co-wrote "Railroad Lady". Walker recorded the song a year earlier than Buffett, and it was later further popularized by Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson. Although it was not successful commercially at the time of its release, 'A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean' is generally considered one of Buffett's better albums and arguably the beginning of his success.
