Homeward Bound
$12.95
Not all nautical songs are sea chanteys. This CD features muscular chanteys, the songs sailors used to work in rhythm while hauling lines, hoisting sails, lifting anchor, or simply swabbing the decks, but also includes the lonely ballads sailors shared off-duty and the everyday songs sung onshore by women and families, all creating a vivid, transporting portrait of maritime culture. The Revels Chorus is joined by British traditional singers David Jones, Louis Killen, John Roberts, and Tony Barrand.
