Reviewer: Geoffrey A CD worth owning and spending your swag for! This particular CD came to me as a gift and I can honestly say I am very grateful for that. It’s fun, melodic, high spirited and has lots of Pub energy to spare. The songs are varied, sung with enthusiasm and a real lust for the subject. Their Celtic soprano is superb and the harpist, a true master of the art. I recommend Haul away Joe or The Parting Glass if you’re thinking of a small download. I’ve only come to enjoy Pirate music over that last few years but can say without hesitation that this is a worthwhile acquisition for any collector of the genre and my only question is when is the next CD forthcoming?
Reviewer:Tom Behrens mood-producing songs for a Celtic-pirate-ballad-loving audience An unusual set of mostly rare tunes that one might hear at a Renaissance Fair, some somber, some rollicking, all well performed. The experience is not unlike visiting a British or American-Irish pub, definitely creates a mood. They all seem rather early Modern English, but sung by pirates (I can almost see the costumes). If you like folk ballads, Celtic music, drinking hall ditties, or pirate songs you should enjoy this eclectic collection.
Reviewer: Steven Harness
This is an excellent CD. The music brings to mind pirates, the high seas, and years long gone by. The music is fun to listen too, the quality of the audio is excellent, and the instruments compliment the vocals in a manner that enhances the over all effect. All in all this CD delivers on what it offers up, sea music to sing, dance, or simply clap along with, atmosphere, and enthusiasm for the music by a talented group of people musicians. We used this CD to emulate tavern music at a recent history event we held, after the event, people took the CD home to listen to it everyday. I highly recommend this CD if you have an ear for pirate tunes, or simply enjoy well sung folk style music.
