It was released in June 1988 as MCA 42093 and was produced by Coral Reefer Band members Michael Utley, Russell Kunkel, and Ralph MacDonald.[1] The album continues Buffett's use of a wide variety of musical instruments than was typical for Buffett's earlier works, notably horns and percussion.

All but two of the album's songs were written or co-written by Buffett. The other two songs are cover songs: "Great Heart" originally by South African Johnny Clegg and Savuka and "L'Air de la Louisiane" by Jesse Winchester, one of several Buffett covers of Winchester songs recorded throughout his career. "L'Air de la Louisiane" (The Louisiana Air) is Buffett's only song sung entirely in a foreign language, French.
