Jimmy Buffett

One Buffett agreed to write a song, Shelton immediately committed to using it as the 'Barmageddon' theme -- before he even heard it.

Alan Jackson wasn't even second in line!

He later satirized the incident in a song.

Brad Paisley and songwriter Mac McAnally were to join Buffett later this month.

It's hard to believe he has never played on the hallowed stage.

The Boot sat down with songwriter Don Rollins to hear the story behind this now-classic tune.

On Aug. 9, 2003, Jackson and Buffett hit No. 1 with "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," from Jackson's 'Greatest Hits II' album.

The Boot takes inventory of the best tracks to blare as you're headed to, sitting on or just dreaming of the beach.

There's nothing we look forward to more through the long winter months than the prospect of a nice, relaxing (and preferably tropical) vacation.

Chesney says that each collaboration on 'Songs for the Saints' represents something special and unique about the album's theme.
