Maritime music, nautical music - the music of the sea. Patrick Strole's production adds further rhythmic intensity to this dynamic Seattle duo's relentless guitar, wailing hurdy-gurdy, mandolin, whistles, and fiddle. The result is an unusually energetic and exciting approach to folk music. Traditional shanties include Whiskey is the Life of Man, Lowlands, Rolling Down the Bay to Juliana, and WIndy Weather; Janie Maneely's The Brigantine relates a tale of a mythical ghost ship; C. Fox Smith's poem Shanghai Brown is made over into a gripping story song of hair-raising brutality and greed; plus songs by Rudyard Kipling and Brian Bedford.
