The Shanty Crew made their first CD released in 1996, again complete with a book of words, this time 52 pages, some said it could not be fitted into a CD case. Same formula. Well researched and profusely noted with all backgrounds and histories. Many folk singers and latter day
shantymen sing the East India Man without understanding where the song came
from, here will be found the interesting history of it`s source before the
last century was new. Twenty seven songs and shanties
and two poems all with a great maritime pedigree. |

Roy Harris traditionalist and
folk singer wrote in review; “ The great days of sail were almost over by the
end of the 19th century, lost in a cloud of steam, sea shanties
for capstan, halyard and pump were no longer needed? These songs and sea shanties with gritty
poetic words and brusque beautiful tunes that hook you like an anchor are
timeless and irresistible. This album
carries some of the grandest shanties to be found, Sing along with the Shanty
crew and you will see what I mean”. |
