Jimmy Buffet releases his third album on June 4, 1973. The title is a play on the country song “A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation” by Marty Robbins and ...

Cards on the table—this review is late. Really late. We got the promo, but it went unclaimed, and it wasn’t until I picked up Lynx’s Trinity of Suns for personal enjoyment that I listened. Before I finished my first spin, I knew I had to Filter it. And that’s exactly what I did. I sat down to write my 200ish words about Lynx’s sophomore album, and the words spilled out. Too many, actually. I described how every subsequent journey through Trinity of Suns deepens my appreciation for Lynx’s retro rock, and soon I realized I had more to say than a limited word count would allow. Over the last month, Lynx has enraptured me with their sultry siren song, entrenching Trinity of Suns as a mainstay for commutes and chores. Rather than saving it as a Thing You Might Have Missed, though, I dared to write the counter-breaking missive I hoped my betters would permit. I begged. I cajoled. I cashed in the scant favors and political capital I’ve accrued since joining the staff to get this thing published. Was it worth it? If you’re reading these words, you’re damn right it was.

Between releasing 2021’s Watcher of Skies and follow-up Trinity of Suns, Lynx underwent a transformation I can only describe as transcendent. Huck N Roll offered some pointed criticism for their debut, a slab of 70s hard rock worship in the vein of Thin Lizzy and Blue Öyster Cult. Specifically, Huck noted that the songwriting was as unrefined as guitarist Marvin Keifer’s vocal performance, and the wanton surfeit of cymbals debilitated the listening experience. Five years later, Lynx obliterates whatever expectations listeners set based on Watcher of Skies. Most notably, Trinity of Suns introduces Amy Zine as full-time lead vocalist1—a decision that catapults Lynx’s potential into the Skies. Just as importantly, though, Lynx displays more restraint and maturity in their arrangements to wonderful effect.

Though the core of Lynx’s identity remains the same, the band deftly incorporates inspirations to elevate their sound. Rather than relegating the best moments to snappy intros, Trinity of Suns steeps its compositions in throwback, classic rock drama. “Stranger Sign in the Sky” boasts a Rushified break that harkens to “By-Tor and the Snow Dog,” while “Oppressive Season” starts with an intro that could pass for a lost Jimmy Buffet cut before tumbling into a Thin Lizzy tizzy. “Seven Days of Darkness,” meanwhile, melds the majesty of Pink Floyd psychedelia with the soulful intimacy of Tanith’s starkest emotional moments, eliciting a warm, heartfelt fuzz that pairs perfectly with the desert-ready palette Lynx paints with. The resulting thirty-nine minutes simmer with subtle heat, proving how the songwriting has evolved over the last half-decade.

\In addition to more fluid song structures, Lynx unchains stunning performances across Trinity of Suns. Amy Zine’s smoky vocals cut to my core, whether she’s belting out head-bopping choruses (“Island Universe”) or caressing with a tender croon (“Seven Days of Darkness”), and I simply cannot get enough. Still, as fabulous as her contributions are,2 they don’t carry Trinity of Suns alone. Everyone else in Lynx pitches in with guitars, though they’re primarily supplied by Tim Künz and Janni Athanasiadis. In addition to his gorgeous acoustic twangs on “Seven Days of Darkness,” Franz Fesel ably commands drums from the pocket while Phil Helm rumbles with luxurious yet understated bass. Honestly, Lynx’s low-end locks into such powerful grooves that Trinity of Suns would be undermined and underserved with a lesser performance, and if you need any convincing, go listen to the back-to-back tandem of “Oppressive Season” and “Trinity of Suns.”

Lynx is a band that understands the assignment, and Trinity of Suns should be enough to convince anyone that this kitty has claws. My only unfulfilled desire from Trinity of Suns is a three-minute banger nestled after “Voyager” or “Oppressive Season” where the entire band goes hog-fucking-wild. “Oppressive Season” comes closest, though holds back enough to avert the pandemonium I crave. With the talent Lynx brandishes, I’d love to hear them cut completely loose. Otherwise, Trinity of Suns accomplishes everything I want from a band of Lynx’s ilk, and each time “Island Universe” concludes, I’m left even more smitten. Whatever these cats do next, I’ll be there.

The loss of #JimmyBuffet hit me hard this year. So much of my wanderlust and love of the ocean and beach is reflected in his songs. But this one....still the best one! (It's Bob Dylan's fave too🙂 )

Having cheeseburgers and margaritas for dinner #rip #jimmyBuffet

Didn't know that #PaulMcCarney & #JimmyBuffet were close friends. Paul has a touching tribute to him on Insta. Paul plays on a new Jimmy song coming out the 8th. He mentioned another new song he particularly likes: "Bubbles Up" Paul told Jimmy it was the best his vocals had ever sounded.

Paul played for Jimmy & family at his home last week. He writes: "Right up until the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humor that said "I love this world & I'm going to enjoy every minute of it."

Still struck by coincidence of my watching entire Stern interview of #Springsteen the day before #JimmyBuffet passes. Bruce's vitality is one of many things you can take from the interview. The fragility of life was not one of them, though they did spend some quality time talking about #ClarenceRIP. Anyway, these two guys, both epic songwriters, performers, both went hugely, and disappointingly to some, commercial and both even did Broadway shows celebrating their personal brands? Quite a pair!

In honor of #JimmyBuffet, I present you with this outstanding #YachtRock homage :

how i choose to remember #jimmybuffet (his double-fisted cameo in jurassic world)

Soft roads to Jimmy Buffet, fixture of my college years and a huge influence on my own songwriting style.

Sadly my man Jimmy's best known in the public mind for the sort of fratty boat rock stuff -- which I'm sure he did nothing to correct, because it made him millions -- but those of us who love him prized his deep, introspective observations on the human heart.

Choosing just one example is hard, but I settled for this one, because I love it and nobody ever seems to notice it. (Co-written with Mac McAnally, another genius of country music.)

Anyway, if you ain't heard an entire Jimmy album, you ain't heard Jimmy.

Thanks, Mr. Buffet.

Buffett was reportedly first diagnosed with skin cancer four years ago.

A friend of Buffett told the outlet that the cause of the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" crooner's illness wasn't exactly surprising to those who knew and loved him, explaining,

"He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively."

#RIP #JimmyBuffet

“A poet of paradise, Jimmy Buffett was an American music icon who inspired generations to step back and find the joy in life and in one another,” said President Joe Biden in a statement.

#JimmyBuffet #RIP #ThanksForTheMemories

Oof. Have a cheeseburger in paradise when you get there, sir. #RIP #JimmyBuffet

I know it’s a bit of a faux pas, but Paul’s words on Buffett are worth the transgression #PaulMcCartney #JimmyBuffet

I'm pained...

There aren't many who remember / were there for the filming of Rancho Deluxe. I was a kid, driving shuttles for fishing guides on the Yellowstone out of Livingston and Bozeman in 1974-77. God I miss those days. Jimmy captured the raucousness especially. Others captured the scene. David Quamnen, Steve Bodio, Russel Chatham. The Fondas and Redford ruined it.

Here's to old hats, shotguns and fly fishing...

As dedicated Parrot Heads, @Imhelendt and I have been to too many Jimmy Buffett shows over the years to count. Every show is a magical experience. These pics are from the last show we attended, in June 2018. Fair winds and following seas, Jimmy.
#JimmyBuffet

Summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And 76 years slipped away... Thanks for the music, Jimmy #rip #JimmyBuffet

"Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs. He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many."

RIP #JimmyBuffet

If you can name 5 #JimmyBuffet songs besides Margaritaville, you’re probably also one of those freaks who can recite all of the verses of the Star Spangled banner.

This makes me sad on so many levels.💔

I don't know that I classify as an official parrot head because I never went to any of his concerts, but I was a fan. Jimmy was remarkable and iconic.

My favorite Jimmy Buffett songs:

1. Pirate Looks at 40
2. Trying To Reason (With a Hurricane Season)
3. Tonight I Just Need My Guitar

Do you know the primary difference between a beach bum and a ski bum? The temperature at which we like our water.

RIP, Jimmy Buffett.

For me, life is more about changes in ALTITUDES, changes in attitudes than about changes in latitudes, but the general idea of letting go of uptight expectations and chilling with life that was his basic vibe resonates.

#JimmyBuffet #SkiBum #MountianLife

Given the news about #JimmyBuffet's death enjoy these two perspectives of an absolutely daft idea - to drive around the USA visiting every #Margaritaville restaurant.
