Certainly, here’s a paraphrased and expanded version of the text:

In the twilight of his illustrious career, the legendary musician Jimmy Buffett left a lasting mark on the world of music with his final album, “Equal Strain on All Parts,” slated for release on November 3, as reported by Rolling Stone and Relix. The album, a testament to his enduring talent and creativity, grants fans an early glimpse with the release of three captivating singles: “Bubbles Up,” “My Gummie Just Kicked In,” and “Like My Dog.”

One of the most poignant moments leading up to the release of this album was the heartfelt tribute from none other than the iconic Paul McCartney, who lent his vocals to the track “My Gummie Just Kicked In.” McCartney lauded “Bubbles Up,” a song co-authored by Buffett alongside Will Kimbrough. In McCartney’s own words, “I told [Buffett] that not only was [‘Bubbles Up’] great, but the vocal performance was arguably the best I’ve ever heard him sing. He ingeniously transformed a phrase used in underwater training into a metaphor for navigating life’s confusion. When you’re adrift and unsure, just follow the bubbles, and they will guide you back to the surface, setting you on the right course.”

The passing of Jimmy Buffett on September 1, due to skin cancer at the age of 76, was a profound loss felt deeply by music enthusiasts worldwide. Nevertheless, his swan song, “Equal Strain on All Parts,” is a testament to his enduring influence. This musical opus not only boasts McCartney’s contribution but also features stellar performances by Emmylou Harris, Angélique Kidjo, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Furthermore, the album was masterfully produced by Buffett’s trusted Coral Reefers bandmates, Michael Utley and Mac McAnally.
