Banana Wind
On this release, Banana Wind, Buffett continues in the light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the beach-bum lifestyle that has made him a hero to tens of thousands of his "Parrothead" fans. Combining country-rock and calypso into his signature sound, the singer-songwriter advises all of us caught up in the rat race that we need to "take a holiday, grab a pack, and hit the trail, take a sail, and wind up in some moonlit bay." Early in his career Buffett was able to re-create the tension of everyday life before he released it with considerable gusto in a sun-filled fantasy. These days, however, he seems so out of touch with ordinary lives that he can't build much tension at all, and as a result his songs are so laid-back that they never quite get off the mat. --Geoffrey Himes more

- Live the Carribean Life with the Best Music of All-Time!
Only Jimmy Buffett can seem to infuse Steel drum, country, calypso and rock and roll into the greatest listening music ever. This is his best by far, but other albums during this period have some similiar steel drum infused tracks on...

- BANANA WIND
I bought this CD for one song, "Bob Roberts Society Band" which I heard on Sirius radio on the way home one night. I love Jimmy Buffett but had never heard this song or several others on the CD. I think it is one of his best!

- Hidden Track
For me, this is just another so-so JB album and really doesn't compare to the early material JB wrote during his the pre-cult-following days. Nonetheless, I just wanted to alert folks to the hidden track "Treetop Flyer" -- a great...

- Another later career bomb
I bought this CD along with Barometer Soup to round out my collection of Jimmy Buffett albums/cd. I can now say I own them all, and as I expected, this one is as bad as "Hot Water". There's nothing new here; the writing and singing are...
