Jimmy Buffett, the legendary singer-songwriter, has posthumously released a new music video that pays homage to the city of New Orleans, a place that held a special significance in his life and music. The video accompanies his song 'University of Bourbon Street,' which captures the essence of the vibrant city that inspired much of Buffett's work.
The music video features footage of Buffett recording the vocals for the song in a studio, interspersed with scenes of New Orleans, including a lively Mardi Gras parade, local artists immersing themselves in the music, and picturesque views of the Mississippi River.
Despite battling skin cancer during the recording and filming of 'University of Bourbon Street,' Buffett appears joyful and engaged in the creative process. His infectious energy shines through as he delivers the upbeat and catchy tune.
'University of Bourbon Street' features the renowned Preservation Hall Jazz Band, a fixture in the New Orleans music scene since the 1960s. The band's collaboration with Buffett adds a unique flair to the song and video, further enhancing the tribute to the city.
The track is part of Buffett's latest album, 'Equal Strain on All Parts,' released in November 2023, just two months after his passing. The album quickly soared into the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart, marking a posthumous success for the beloved artist.
