Havana Daydreamin' is the sixth studio album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and his fourth regular major label album. It was produced by Don Gant and released on January 1, 1976 on LP as ABC Dunhill ABCD-914 and January 28, 1987 on CD on ABC Dunhill's successor label MCA.
The album's name was originally to have been Kick It in Second Wind and was to have included the songs "Please Take Your Drunken 15 Year Old Girlfriend Home," "Train to Dixieland," and "Wonder Why We Ever Go Home" as well as a different version of "Kick It in Second Wind." Instead, these songs were replaced with "Woman Goin' Crazy on Caroline Street", "Havana Daydreamin'", and "Cliches." "Wonder Why We Ever Go Home" would appear on next album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes (not the version recorded for Kick It in Second Wind).
Several rare versions of this album exist or are rumored to. These have altered song ordering and contain two songs that were deleted from the final release: "Please Take Your Drunken 15 Year Old Girlfriend Home" and "Train to Dixieland." A third song that is rumored to exist, "We've Been Taken to the Cleaners (and I Already Had my Shirts Done)," is likely apocryphal, as no known recording of it exists whereas the other two rare tracks are fairly easy to find in Buffett trading circles.
Most of the songs on the album were written or co-written by Buffett, two with his future wife, Jane Slagsvol. Other songs include "Big Rig" written by Coral Reefer Greg "Fingers" Taylor and "This Hotel Room" by Steve Goodman (who also co-wrote "Woman Goin' Crazy on Caroline Street" with Buffett). The album also contains a remake of Jesse Winchester's "Defying Gravity," the first of several Winchester songs Buffett would record over his career. (The song would also be remade by Emmylou Harris.) None of the songs on the album have been played regularly at Buffett's live concerts since the 1970s.
