I actually didn't go to the desert with the pre-conceived notion of returning with an album. I went looking for stories. And stories are still the things good songs are made of. It was an oasis on the banks of the Niger River, not on an island or a boat, where this group of songs started spinning around in my brain. - Jimmy Buffett
Buffet Hotel, Jimmy's first studio album since 2006, features 12 new songs plus a 24 page booklet which includes a memoir with rich description of his adventures in Mali, plus in-depth liner notes for each song.
