Coconut Telegraph

Coconut Telegraph is the 11th studio album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was released in February 1981 as MCA 5169 and was produced by Norbert Putnam. In addition to songs written or co-written by Buffett (including one with J.D. Souther), the album includes the 1934 jazz standard "Stars Fell on Alabama" penned by Mitchell Parish and Frank Perkins and "It's My Job" written by Mac McAnally, the beginning of a long-term collaboration that would lead to McAnally becoming a member of Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. Coconut Telegraph reached #30 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The song "It's My Job" hit #57 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles and would be Buffett's last appearance on that chart for over 20 years...
