Pirate music

shrift's example, I offer pirate music (with some general sailing music) for Talk Like A Pirate Day. Using Sendspace this time, since yousendit is being obnoxious with its registration requirements and all.
Ray Harris, Captain Ward, from Round Cape Horn
Weavers, One Of the Roving Kind from Wasn't That a Time (metaphorical pirates only)
Revels, The Herring's Head, from Homeward Bound
Anita Best, The Liverpool Pilot, from Cross-Handed
Captain Tractor, What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor (album unknown; I got this from one of y'all)
Paul Clayton, Paddy Doyle's Boots from Sailing and Whaling Songs
Joseph Arthur, Coast of High Barbary, from Rogue's Gallery (this one is more punky-sounding than folk)
Teddy Thompson, Sally Brown, from Rogue's Gallery (sounds like '70s singer-songwriter music)
The Rogue's Gallery CD is new and worth checking out if you're not a purist about your folk music. Where it's good, it's great, and where it's bad, it makes you want to rip your ears off; out of about 40 songs, there were 15 I saved to the iPod, and another 15 that I couldn't even listen to all the way through. (Either because they were noisy and annoying or because they were so thoroughly, cheerfully obscene that they embarrassed me -- someone less easily flustered might really get a kick out of Loudon Wainwright's "Good Ship Venus," but I wimped out after three verses.)
