Stars on the Water - Jimmy Buffett - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Jimmy Buffett's version of Rodney Crowell's "Stars on the Water" is a classic not just in country music, but also in American culture, where it's often heard on car radios and at house parties. The song has achieved a level of recognition that allows it to cross genres and generations, becoming as much a part of the national soundtrack as any other 1980s hit. Originally released in 1981 as the lead single from Rodney Crowell's eponymous third studio LP, the song quickly became one of the singer-songwriter's biggest hits, reaching Number 30 on the Hot Country Songs chart. A few years later, the song was re-recorded by Jimmy Buffett, who included it in his 1983 twelfth studio album One Particular Harbour. A testament to the natural beauty of the American Southern landscape, "Stars on the Water" perfectly fit Jimmy Buffett's trademark Key West sound, which combines influences from country and western music with lyrical allusions to the Gulf of Mexico coast. Even though it wasn't officially released as a single, it remains one of Jimmy Buffett's best-known songs.
