Plantation Harbor is the second solo studio album by the American recording artist Joe Vitale. It was originally released in 1981, on the label Asylum. The album was his only album to chart reaching No. 181 on the Billboard 200.
The album was released at the height of the popularity of the new wave music movement. The song "Lady on the Rock" received some airplay in the US on album-oriented rock radio, but the album was generally poorly received.
The album features guest performances by Joe Walsh, Don Felder and Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship, Paul Harris, George "Chocolate" Perry, Joe Lala, Marilyn Martin and the horns are led by Jimmy Pankow of Chicago.
The instrumental "Theme from Cabin Weirdos" is another in the series of "Weirdo" instrumentals, "Theme from Boat Weirdos," "Theme from Island Weirdos," among other instrumentals that Joe Walsh and Vitale had placed on former albums.
The Echo drums on the track "Theme from Cabin Weirdos" were recorded on top of Mount Mitchell, which is the highest peak of the Appalachian Mountains and the highest peak in the eastern United States, the mountain reaches an elevation of 6,684 ft (2,037 m)
