Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Salt Water on a CD.......2006-10-03

This is a collection for the true fan of the sea shanty (or chantey). The compilation is done acapella and feels as if you are on board a sailing ship in the 19th century. Eleven are sung by A. L. Lloyd, one of the foremost collectors of these songs andeight are by the late Ewan MacColl, a British folk icon.
If you want to hear and learn sea songs as they were most likely done by sailors pumping and hauling, this is a fine resource/

1 out of 5 stars dig a hole........2006-09-11

This is bad on nearly every level. Most of the songs are are without accompanyment so the fact that they are off key is quite apparent. I am sure there are good recordings of these songs however this is not one of them.
