Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Buy this CD or walk the plank!.......2007-01-03

This "Buried Treasure" belongs in your booty! Top-notch all the way!

4 out of 5 stars Great for kids or museums. Not for a pirate party for grownups........2006-06-27

The musicianship on this CD is quite nice, as is the selection of songs. The Toucan Pirates have certainly done their homework in terms of researching the traditional music of the British Isles and playing it on period instruments, along with some good background sound effects, movie samples, and a hint of Caribbean steel drums. If you're looking for pirate music for an exhibit on pirates or are having a pirate party for kids, this is the perfect CD for you. It's reasonably lively and the pacing changes enough to keep it interesting as background music.

If, however, you are an adult who is going to have a pirate party for adults (poker, drinking, etc.) then this CD may be a bit plodding and tame for you. For that purpose, I would instead recommend bands like The Pogues (particularly about half the tracks on "If I should Fall From Grace with God") and select cuts from Flogging Molly, Tears for Beers, The Chieftains, and The Dubliners.

This is actually a very good CD, just not for the wild Pirate Party I'm planning on thowing! My favorite cut is the Garryowen, which still makes my hair stand on end because of my associations of it with poignant scenes from the movie, "Little Big Man," where it's played by General Custer's band as they march into battle.
