Amazing sea songs
17 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
I have loved this recording ever since my dad played it for me as a child. Ewan MacColl has an amazing way of drawing you into these classic, old sea songs. His style is spare, like the tough, old sailors he evokes, yet his voice can make you shiver. Both the humorous and the tragic stories of life at sea can be found in these songs, and they stay with you for a long time.

Simply the finest collection of sea songs ever compiled
2 Jun 2008
Format:Audio CD
This compilation of shanties and sailor songs is far superior to any collection I have ever heard. The combination of the traditional voices and instrumentation, coupled with the unvarnished, authentic lyrics makes this recording stand out clearly as the "real deal" and in a different league than the ubiquitous folksy shanty recordings that sound artificial and wimpy. A.L. Lloyd handles most of the lead vocals and really carries the whole show. All of the songs on "Blow Boys Blow," despite their rough authenticity, burn with excellent melodic and rhythmic brio. A must-buy.
