Rancho Deluxe is the soundtrack from the movie of the same name starring Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston and is the sixth album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was initially released in 1975 as United Artists UA 466G and later rereleased on labels licensed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (who owns the soundtrack's rights) including Capitol and Rykodisc. The screenplay of the movie was written by Thomas McGuane, husband of Buffett's sister, Laurie Buffett.

[edit] Alternate versions

The 1998 Rykodisc re-release of Rancho Deluxe includes four tracks of movie dialogue that were not present on the original soundtrack.

[edit] Songs

The soundtrack album contains songs and instrumental incidental music, all written by Buffett. "Livingston Saturday Night" and "Wonder Why We Ever Go Home" were subsequently re-recorded by Buffett and released on Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes and Son of a Son of a Sailor respectively. Both of the remakes are significantly different than the Rancho Deluxe originals. "Livingston Saturday Night" is a monaural recording and has significant lyrical changes (e.g., "sixteen may get you twenty" becomes "fifteen may get you twenty") and "Wonder Why We Ever Go Home" is extended to become a full-length song.

Unlike the music of his previous three albums, Rancho Deluxe is a heavily country album with none of the "gulf and western" feel that has typified most of Buffett's career. It is his only album that contains a song that Buffett himself does not sing on, "Left Me with A Nail to Drive" with vocals by Coral Reefer Band member Roger Bartlett.

There were no singles released from the album.
