High Cumberland Jubilee is the second studio album by American popular-music singer and songwriter Jimmy Buffett.

Also, "High Cumberland Jubilee" continues to the end rather than fading out as on the standard version of the album.

"In the Shelter", which originally appeared on this album, was later re-recorded by Buffett, first for 1977's Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes when it was released as a single, and in 2002 for the greatest-hits compilation Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection, making it (with "The Captain and the Kid") one of only two of his songs with three different studio versions.

The folk-rock style of music and lyrics on Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee differs greatly from Buffett's subsequent output.

Allmusic reviewer William Ruhlmann noted, "this is not the freewheeling Jimmy Buffett of 'Margaritaville', but rather a thoughtful folk-rock singer/songwriter of the early '70s, earnestly strumming an acoustic guitar over a rhythm section and singing lyrics of social consciousness with sly references to drugs.
