Album Description
Pirates, shanghaiers, slavers, and smugglers are just some of the central characters in this album of lusty, authentic maritime songs; others are ardent patriots, hard-pressed immigrants, and weathered sailors sheltering in the taverns of the seven seas. All are midway between some dicey spot in life and an uncertain future. Their compelling stories of bold adventure are excitingly re-told here by an all-star crew of Irish singers and musicians. 40 page booklet, 13 tracks, 58 Minutes.

Thanks Dan for preserving these songs! The album is fantastic! As you are listening, you can just imagine men on a ship a "hundred years ago" working the sails and ropes...you just want to sing along with every song! I gave my first album away to someone in Salem, MA celebrating Nathaniel Bowditch's anniversary. (Nathaniel invented the sextant and was author of "The New American Practical Navigator.")Now I must buy a second!
Great Listen April 25, 2009

Saw this in Smithsonian magazine-of course it was much cheaper on Amazon and if you love Irish ballad music, you'll love this CD. It is fun to hear.

It's ok. Just like most cd's one doesn't like ALL the songs. Some I like and others are so-so.
