Sea Shanty, Fisherman & Pirate songs CD advice Please!

[Chris the Cat]

Looking for a good compilation of trad sea shanties, fishermans songs, that kind of thing.
Like the sound of SOME of the Rouges Gallery compilation, but wondered if anyone had their own favorites they could recommend?
Cheers Cats.
Chris.

I've bought some good cd's from here Chris..http://www.seafarerbooks.com/sailing/SailingNarratives o-q.htm
The first one..Sea songs and shanties with Bob Roberts etc: is quite authentic.

Have a listen to Blackbeard's Tea Party on Amazon.

It's not so traditional, but great upbeat fun music. I bought the album on CD when I saw them busking in York and I never do that!

All good tips chaps, thanks, I shall check them out!
Looking to be fairly authentic, but I'm not a snob about it.
Any more?

I presume you've already checked out Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends?

Show of hands, a more modern take, but easy listening.

fishermans friends are great, but a little placid for me.

Although I'm not adverse to sucking a fisherman's friend from time to time I prefer the pirate side of the high seas & the 'Jolly Rogers' usually get my toe a tapping...
