The song was actually written by Johnny Clegg, a great musical artist in his own right.

good question and good song.
"Far Side of the World" is a great song about Jimmy's travels...inspired by a trip to Africa.

Yup, in fact I bought Johnny Clegg's CD while I was in South Africa, and I have to say, I like his version of Great Heart better than Jimmy's...

About 17 years ago, I saw Johnny Clegg and Savuka in concert---they were the opening act for Tracy Chapman, who opened for Bob Dylan.
They were incredible!

Wish I had seen that show, Ellen...and wish the person who borrowed my Johnny Clegg and Savuka CDs had given them back.

Went to my first Jonny Clegg show last year. If there was a Clegg and Buffett show the same day, I would go to Clegg.
Pick up the concert DVD which includes music videos and classic clips to get a taste of Clegg today and yesterday.
I check the website at least once a week. I'm hoping for a spring tour here.
