[.ca] Banana Wind

From Amazon.com:
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

Liked it so much I might just buy it again:
I bought this cd, originally at goodwill. Recently I lost it. Well I liked it so much I am thinking about actually buying it full price! I usually listen to radio or vinal from good will, so I think that is saying alot

Jimmy's Best CD of the 1990's:
I have been a true Buffett fan since the late 70's. This is a fantastic CD filled with a variety of great stuff. But if for no other reason, you should buy this CD for the song False Echoes. This song is a tribute to Jimmy's dad who passed away in 1995. Plain and simply stated...If you are a Buffett fan, you must own this CD!

Great Music For Cold Weather:
Stuck in the snow of the north east? Bored running on your treadmill listening to the radio? Put this in your system and you'll pick up the pace. Caribbean influence is enjoyable. Recommend putting "Banana Wind" and "Don't Stop The Carnival" in your cd changer. Try putting these CDs in your home theatre system in 5.1--you'll swear you're at a grass hut bar in Jamaica.

Great CD!:
If you like Jimmy Buffett, you need this CD!

Banana Wind:
Banana Wind is just a great feel good album, and with the flow of the music you feel like you are in the keys with palm trees and a sandy beach. This cd takes away youre emotions and just makes you wanna drift off into a permanent day dream, a wonderland of beautiful gardens and smiling friends. I definetly recommend this album, and any others of jimmy buffett for that matter.
