Inarticulate Nature Boy is the debut solo album by American rock musician Josh Clayton-Felt. It was released on May 19, 1996 through A&M Records. [1]
After the break-up of his group School of Fish, singer-guitarist Clayton-Felt began learning to play keyboards, bass, and drums in addition to guitar. He began recording 25 songs over the next few years. [2] Although his friend and former bandmate Michael Ward added some guitar tracks, and he had a little help on percussion, Clayton-Felt for the most part played all the other instruments off this album. [3] The track "Window" reached #49 on Radio & Records' Alternative chart.
Critic Roch Pariesien gave the album three out of five stars, calling it "more casual, relaxed, and eccentric" than Clayton-Felt's work in School of Fish. Pariesien concludes his review by lumping Clayton-Felt "into a loose class of former-band-frontman solo artists" such as Michael Been of The Call and Ian McNabb of The Icicle Works. However, he adds, "If anyone out there, just to prove me wrong, chooses to start a campaign to make Nature Boy a huge hit rather than a tiny cult phenomenon, please let me know so I can be first in line to buy a second copy."

Floridays is the fifteenth album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was released in June 1986 as MCA 5730 and was produced by Coral Reefer Band member Michael Utley and recorded and mixed by Jay Rifkin. The title of the album is taken from the 1941 poetry collection of the same name by Don Blanding. The album marks the end of Buffett's shift toward a more country sound that characterized his previous two releases and a return to a sound closer to that of his late 1970s and early 1980s output. The album features a wider variety of musical instruments than was typical for Buffett's previous works, notably several songs with strings and horns. His daughter Savannah Jane Buffett is credited for playing mini-conga on the album. It was also his last studio album to feature Jimmy Buffett's trademark mustache, before he shaved it off for the next album Hot Water in 1988.
