re: Is there a documentary on the life and times of Jimmy Buffett?

And Jerry Jeff Walker was the one who drove him to Key West.

Jerry Jeff was a mentor to Jimmy in the early years. Buffet ended up in Nashville as a singer-songwriter at one point primarily because he was following Jerry Jeff.

Then Jerry Jeff moved to Cocoa Beach, and Jimmy made a trip to Florida to hang out. That’s when they made the trip to Key West.

They both bounced around on the Gulf Coast touring circuit playing college towns and cities. Jerry Jeff ended up settling in Austin and helped establish the Outlaw Country movement there, while Buffet settled in Key West and built his own movement.
