Jimmy Buffett called Radio Margaritaville tonight and talked with Steve Huntington about the upcoming tour and a new album that is in the works:

From Jollymon345 on our forum:

Around 6pm tonight Jimmy was driving up 95 thru Georgia on his way to rehearsal for the upcoming tour and call into RM. He said they have finished 6 new songs that they will debut during the tour and are working on a few more songs. He also said the band has been in the studio in the islands (guessing Shrimpboat) and are working on a new album that will come out after the tour. He was on his way to Charleston where they will be rehearsing for the summer tour.
