Pre-order Rogue's Gallery
What the record company says:
"While working on the two "Pirates Of The Carribean" films, Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski became fascinated with the lore and fable of the pirates and sailors who ran the high seas. Enter legendary producer Hal Wilner, who brings his knack for matching maverick musicians with extraordinary material. Artists on this double disc set include Bono, Sting, Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Richard Thompson, Lucinda Williams, Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, and many more. "Rogue's Gallery" offers a look at the hardships, the horrors, the lusts and lurid depths, and the crystal beauty that led men to the sea in ships for hundreds of years."
What I say:
Aaargh, must have it now.
I see one of the tracks is called "Caroline and Her Young Sailor Bold"...
I notice that the MeFi Music site you've posted in your linklog contains one "untraditional sea shanty", another track called SeaSong and also a reference to an album called You And The Fishermen.
Other tracks support the nautical theme without referencing it directly: End Of The World and Red Sky).
Is there something in the water?
Tom, that would be the song Ms Corr is singing. :/
