Very Good - Very Traditional
Review date: 2010-01-31 Rating: 8 out of 10
I bought this for my boyfriend (who loves sailing on board Tall Ships) for Christmas.
He has the Rouges Gallery sea shanties that I bought him the Christmas before which her really likes.
This is different - it's very traditional, scaled back, it's just the voices, very few instruments. How sea shanties were sung when aboard ships in times of yor.
He really likes this CD. Gaaaaaaarrrrrgggh.
Wonderful, evocative music
