hurricane Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 If you have iTunes you can get two collections of great sea songs - they are by Pierce Campbell - simply enter his name in the search engine on iTunes. I got Songs of the Sea and Songs of the Drink and they are terrific. Great versions of some traditional tunes and some originals. Good stuff! Great version of Haul Away Joe and A Pint or So is hilarious. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

jackedjill Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 thank you so much for the information. I'm a novice pirate and have only attended a few pirate-y shows (is adding a "y" like that to pirate a bastardization o' the word?) Looking forward ta that on me iPod soon. Imagine a pirate in one of those silhouette iPod commercials. I could laugh at that for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culliford Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I've found that doing a search on the word "Shanties" in iTunes yields a treasure in great ol' songs to learn and sing with me mates, the best of which is (in this ol' pyrate's opineen) Foc'sle Singers & Paul Clayton's "Foc'sle Songs and Shanties." This recording was apparently made back in the '50's, and is of very high quality and sounds as authentic as I could imagine. Another great collection is "Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys" with artists like Bono, Bryan Ferry, John C. Reilly, Lou Reed, Rufus Wairight, Sting, Stand Ridgway, Nick Cave (and more) singing old sailing shanteys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
