Review of Sea Shanties
A friendly fun exposure to the sea shanty -learning and laughing are alwyas a good combo. Some of the recording in the bar is a little distracting as is the homemade "key" the group sings in at times.
There are plenty of other moments however where you are drawn to upright attention; a couple of singers and speakers that are gold. I think the piece would be easier to place if it were cut back to about 5 mins (notes to producer) - I think it would buff up the gold that lies within. |

Review of Sea Shanties
How can you not love sea shanties? This piece is fun and light-hearted enough to feed off of the playful coneptions most people have about sea shanties. We want to think about pirate drinking songs. We are aloud to with this piece that is both about sea shanties, but also a small community gathering that centers around singing the shanties. A lot of fun. Where would this fit in? I have no idea. But its fun. Gotta love it. Very upbeat, feel good piece. Just don't know where it would go. Ah, who cares, anywhere. Could even be expanded into an hour piece about the music. I'd still listen.
