Free Music Notes for Sea Music
Free Music Review: Wonderful surprise
Hit: 5 Stars
The only Zanes CD at the local store was his Sea Music CD. I picked it up, thinking it would be something in the vein of his song "Wonderwheel", which I know and love. Well, this CD is not at all what I thought it would be. It's not even kids' music, strictly speaking. But it is something really compelling.
For the past few years I've enjoyed reading tales of maritime exploration and adventure. I am fascintated by the maritime heritage of New England. Well, Sea Music is a compilation of authentic sea shanties, the folk music of maritime culture.
It's a compelling glimpse into the life of the sailor. There are songs of mermaids, storms, drunkenness, and women, and yearning for home on old New England. This is great stuff.
More than that, these songs are eminently singable. Zanes has made it his crusade to re-introduce communal singing into the modern world, and it's a compelling vision. I didn't grow up with much enthusiasm for music, whether singing, playing or listening, but somehow this idea speaks to me. I can imagine singing these songs with my kids at a campfire, or even in the car en route to grandma's house. This is great stuff indeed.
