Songs You Don't Know by Heart is the thirty-first studio album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, released on November 27, 2020. This was the last studio album to be released in Buffett's lifetime before his death in 2023. [1]
The album comprises new acoustic recordings of songs previously recorded by Buffett. The album was recorded based on an online video series recorded by Buffett, where he would perform lesser-known songs from his catalogue, as chosen by online fan vote. [2] The video series was filmed and directed by Buffett's daughter Delaney, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] The title of the album is a play on (and contrast to) Buffett's 1985 greatest hits album, Songs You Know by Heart .
All tracks are written by Jimmy Buffett, except where noted.
