Carl Hiaasen's Florida based novels have always shared the same sense of wide-eyed humor found in the funloving music of Jimmy Buffett. So it should come as no surprise that the two seemingly kindred spirits have teamed up, with Buffett providing 5 newly recorded songs to the soundtrack of the upcoming film adaptation of Hiaasen's Newbery Award winning novel Hoot.

For the soundtrack, which will be released on Buffett's Mailboat Records, the Margaritavile mogul covers Bruce Cockburn's "Wondering Where The Lions Are," Warren Zevon's "Werewolves Of London" and the classic "Barefootin,'" recorded as a duet with Alan Jackson. Buffett also has rerecorded a reggae version of his own "Floridays" and written an original song for the movie, "Good Guys Win."

The soundtrack, which will also contains contributions from Maroon 5 and Brie Larson, will be released on April 18 with the film opening nationwide on April 21.
