Posthumous Jimmy Buffett Album To Feature Previously Unheard Songs

July 25, 2026 7:00 am Published by

A new posthumous Jimmy Buffett album is in the works, featuring mostly unreleased material spanning two decades.

Buffett passed away in 2023 at age 76, but his Coral Reefer Band has continued recording.

Co-producers Mac McAnally and Michael Utley confirmed the project in a Billboard interview.

“For the most part, things that have never been out,” McAnally said, noting tracks range from 2003 to roughly four years ago.

The collection includes “Workin’ ‘n’ Playin’,” performed on tour in 2015 and 2016, an unused track from the 2017 musical Escape to Margaritaville, and the full piece backing Buffett’s Jurassic World cameo.

No title or release date has been announced. “When you hear Jimmy sing, you can tell that he’s smiling,” McAnally said.
