Havana Daydreaming
It's another treasure from the happiest pirate I know!!!. I love this album of Jimmy's Some songs I'd never heard before.


Quintessential Jimmy Buffett!
This CD offers the source of everything of this great soul and artist. Nothing new can be said about Jimmy Buffett.


Great album!
Yes, I was only five when this album was released, but I still love it - Truely excellent!. Track 2 is one of Jimmy's best songs; however, it is not available on any of his compilations.


Poor sound, needs remastering
So, it is dim, muddy, hollow, low-volume and lacking bass response. This CD was issued in the early CD era and has not been remastered in current 24-bit sound. The songs, however, are better than those on his next breakthrough hit, "Changes in Latitude," so it's a must-have. MCA shows contempt for its customers by not upgrading this.


Average Buffett Album
That would come with his next album "Changes In Latitudes", but on "Havana" he had yet to jump on the platinum bullet train. By 1976 Buffett had developed a solid cult following, but had still to really hit the big time. Buffett's backing unit The Coral Reefer Band was fully realized by this album, and the main players would remain with Buffett for years to come, some to this day. The album is again a mix of originals and covers with songs by Steve Goodman ("This Hotel Room"), Jesse Winchester ("Defying Gravity"), Fingers Taylor ("Big Rig"). I don't think that this album stands up to either the previous one "A1A" or the next one "Changes In Latitudes", but it does have it's moments. "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, And I Don't Love Jesus" was a clever novelty song with the very young Oak Ridge Boys providing backing vocals. The title track "Havana Daydreaming" is classic buffet. "Kick It In Second Wind" is an autobiographical rocker that tells the story of the band. For some reason he also re-records "The Captain And The Kid" which was originally on the "Down To Earth Album". The new version is pretty much the same as the old one. This album was recorded at the height of Buffett's partying days and there are several references to various drugs and alcohol found on the disc. I rate this as an average disc in the overall Buffett catalogue.
