Here's to swimming with bow legged women.

Ewan MacColl & A.L. Lloyd
Blow Boys Blow

BLOW, BOYS, BLOW is a full and rousing selection from folk heroes Ewan MacColl (whose resume included author, playwright, actor, street singer, and laborer) and A.L. Lloyd (who, among other things, sang as the "Shantyman" in the movie version of MOBY DICK). Sung to ease the back-breaking work and fill up the long and lonely nights with rowdy and profane entertainment, the songs are fierce, rough, sublime and full of longing.

American Sea Songs & Shanties

The songs and shanties on this album are all sung, without exception, by men who used them in the days of sail. With the advent of steam and the end of sail, any practical use for these sea songs disappeared, and they survived only in the memory of old-timers. The old-timers themselves have passed on, leaving these recordings as their legacy. This CD reissues the first published recordings of these sea songs and shanties.
