Banana Wind is the twentieth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was released on MCA and Margaritaville Records on June 4, 1996, debuting at number four on the Billboard 200.
Songs
[edit]"Jamaica Mistaica" is about an incident in Jamaica on January 16, 1996, in which local authorities mistook Buffett's seaplane, the Hemisphere Dancer, for a smuggling operation. The plane was shot; shortly before, Buffett, U2's Bono, and Island Records producer Chris Blackwell had been aboard. No one was injured, though there were several bullet holes in the plane.[3] (The plane itself is now on display at Universal CityWalk, across from Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant.) "Desdemona's Building a Rocketship" concerns the character Desdemona from Buffett's 1992 novel Where Is Joe Merchant? The song "False Echoes (Havana 1921)" references the ship captained by Jimmy's grandfather, the five-masted barkentine Chickamauga, named after the civil war vessel CSS Chickamauga.[4]
