3.0 out of 5 stars Bit of a moveable feast this one 25 Feb 2013
By Big Jim TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
As you can imagine, with a guest list as disparate as that on here there are some hits and some misses to be found. Not all the songs could be described as sea shanties but they all have an old world air about them. For me this is exemplified by the first few tracks where Shane MacGowan makes his usual shambling way through Leaving of Liverpool, Robyn Hitchcock almost deliberately it seems sings off key and then you are met by the mighty Beth Orton who has the standout track on here in my opinion, River Come Down. Row Bullies Row shows that Sean Lennon can sing rather well and Shenandoah is Tom Waits doing what he does best - you either love it or hate it. And so it goes on, bawdy old songs from Iggy Pop, Richard Thompson on more familiar ground etc, etc. My recommendation would be to try and cop a listen to the album before purchase and download the tracks that appeal because I would imagine that most folk will be like me and have a few that work for them and some that won't. and won't be able to tolerate the whole album, end to end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who said variety was dead, shipmate? 22 Feb 2013
By G. E. Harrison TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
I really enjoyed the first Rogues Gallery record, a very interesting collection of disparate artists and songs that somehow worked - it was also a favourite with my grandchildren (although I didn't let them hear Loudon's version of the "Good ship Venus". This second volume is understandably not quite as good but it also has an unlikely collection of artists including Macy Gray, Tim Robbins, Iggy Pop and Shane MacGowan, who again interpret a similar collection of chanteys and ballads.

This certainly isn't real 'folk' music and in many cases almost theatrical cabaret-style presentations from the likes of Marianne Faithfull, Dr. John, Iggy Pop and more understandably Anjelica Huston. Elsewhere there are really good musical performances from Richard Thompson, Marc Almond, Michael Stipe and Courtney Love, Petra Haden, Sean Lennon and Todd Rundgren. I also really enjoyed the contributions from Ed Harcourt, Patti Smith, Ivan Neville, Macy Gray and especially the combination of Tom Waits and Keef Richards singing "Shenandoah". Don't worry though, as on the first volume there is also plenty of the oddball and the weird here as well, including a nightmare rendition of "Barnacle Bill the Sailor". I love the cover as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to the wait 13 May 2013
By C. Lowe
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved the first album, I thought it was a brilliant concept and the the songs were proper shanties/sea songs. This album has too many songs that seem to be used as fillers because they ran out of real sea songs. I didn't think that the range of artists was up the standard of the first one. A bit of a disappointment considering the long wait between them. I was expecting a bit more.
