Sea Songs

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.
