Album Description

This album is the soundtrack to a musical produced by Jimmy Buffett titled after the 1965 Herman Wouk novel “Don’t Stop The Carnival”. The plot centers around an American businessman that escapes to the Caribbean but soon finds out it’s not all paradise.

There was little interest in the musical and it only ran for six weeks in Miami.
