It was Jimmy Buffett’s third album, A White Sports Coat and a Pink Crustacean,* that gave him major-label exposure to the pop music world. Yet a big record company could — or would — only do so much. Though well-received critically, the album made no dent on the charts. It just sat in the bins. That was baffling.
