History and reception edit

Following the release of Fruitcakes in the previous year, Buffett returned to songwriting and recorded the collection in Key West, Florida in January and February 1995.[2] The album continued Buffett's album chart success begun with Fruitcakes and reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200.[2] The album was also certified "Platinum" by the RIAA on December 19, 2004.

The first single from the album, "Mexico" reached No. 25 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart but "Bank of Bad Habits", the second single, did not chart.

As usual, Buffett went on tour in the summer of 1995, although instead of basing it on the album, he called it the "Domino College Tour", after a song released on the box set three years prior; the song was co-written by Buffett and Dan Fogelberg.[2] Songs from Barometer Soup still appeared regularly in the tour, including "Don't Chu-Know", "Diamond as Big as the Ritz" and "Mexico." Played less frequently on the tour were "Jimmy Dreams", the title track, "Bank Of Bad Habits" and "The Night I Painted the Sky."[3]

Songs edit

"Remittance Man" borrows from Mark Twain's description of meeting two remittance men during his voyage in "Following the Equator". "Diamond as Big as the Ritz" is based on the short story of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Buffett regarded the song as his favorite on the album.[2] "The Ballad of Skip Wiley" is based primarily on Carl Hiaasen's book Tourist Season (although it also references the character of Skink Tyree, who appeared not in Tourist Season, but recurs in other Hiaasen novels).[citation needed] The final song on this album is a cover of James Taylor's song "Mexico". Buffett noted his appreciation for some cover songs, and regarding "Mexico", he said "I always loved that song... and it's a nice way to pay homage to your friends. I think the audience really likes it, too."[2]
