Before Jimmy Buffett became a corporation, he was a rangy
and somewhat ragged country-folk singer/songwriter living a low finance life,
still discovering his marketable Margaritaville persona. One of the projects he
worked on in those early 70s Key West days was the soundtrack for a now mostly
forgotten, but oft-times beautiful impressionistic fishing film / hippie
travelogue called Tarpon.
At the time, Buffett was hanging out with a group of fellow cosmic American artists, all in search of fun and adventure. These included writers Tom McGuane, Richard Brautigan, and Jim Harrison, painter Russell Chatham and filmmakers Guy de la Valdene and Christian Odasso. In a 1986 posthumous article about Brautigan in Rolling Stone, this group was described as a loose collective of “rough cut, highly competitive male artists.”
