Watch Video Premiere of “University of Bourbon Street”
March 7th, 2024
Billboard.com has the exclusive premiere of the new music video for “University of Bourbon Street” from Jimmy Buffett’s final album Equal Strain on All Parts.
The video is full of scenes of Jimmy in New Orleans over the years, as well as footage from Jimmy in the studio and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band performing for the song.
The late Jimmy Buffett deeply loved New Orleans. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, he moved to the Crescent City for a year and his time there informed the rest of his musical life.
He played New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival at least a dozen times, adored New Orleans legendary composer/artist Allen Toussaint (who wrote a song called “I’m Gonna Hang with Jimmy Buffett”), recorded and toured with local icons The Neville Brothers, and when asked by a journalist if he thought “there would be a Jimmy Buffett if there wasn’t a New Orleans,” Buffett replied, “I don’t think there ever would have been.”
