I remember being taught to sing a bowdlerized version of "Whup Jamboree" when I was at primary school and my teacher telling me that the line "Johnny get your oats, my son" referred to the steaming bowls of porridge waiting for the sailors on shore. This superb album of sea shanties and ballads makes it quite clear what the sailors were after in Blackwell docks.
The shanties are sung with ferocity, emphasising their origins as worksongs, whilst the ballads are performed with melancholic, bitter humour. The wheezing concertinas and rambunctious vocals give the album a sense of authenticity which is lacking in many other shanty albums, for example the more sober "Whaling & Sailing Songs" by Paul Clayton. The excellent liner notes discuss the songs in the context of a sailor's working life and explain many of the themes and allusions of the songs.
The raw, hard sound of "Blow Boys Blow" might account for the fact that this is supposedly Captain Beefheart's favourite record, which I think is more of a recommendation than anything I can say.

The Master being Ewan McColl and the Commander - correct me if I'm wrong but it's A.L. Lloyd not Al Loyd. Wish they had provided
the music in the captain's cabin in the film of the same name.
What a delight to have these old salts performing on this collection of classic traditional shanties for posterity.

This is a superb recording by several incomparable musicians, and gives you a strong, salty taste of a totally vanished world - the world of tall sailing ships running on human blood and muscle. Great, unforgettable tunes you will find yourself singing to yourself in the bath - and chuckling.
