Far Side Of The World

Far Side of the World is the 25th studio album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and was released in March of 2002. It is his first album released on his own record label, Mailboat Records. Buffett recorded a demo of a song entitled "Columbus", based on the explorer Christopher Columbus, but did not make the album cut. The demo is available for download on most Buffett fan sites and FTP collection sites. This album cover was originally a photo of Jimmy, wearing a turban and sitting on a camel. This was changed and the release subsequently delayed following 9/11. The CD, if played on a computer with CD-ROM capability, includes the video for the title song.
