Free Music Review: Some Pudding with that Roast Beef!
Hit: 5 Stars

My first exposure to the songs of the age of sail was when I was 9 years old when I was given a good old fashioned LP Record produced by National Geographic called "Songs and Sounds of the Sea". I immediately fell in love with this odd, sometimes happy, sometimes melancholy style of music. Every song is a story and a glimpse into the life of the sailor of ages past. Telling of the joy of sailing and comradeship (and saucy women!)but also the brutal discipline and harshness of the life.

For years I had looked for more of this type of music of the quality found on the old National Geographic record, especially on CD, but was unsuccessful.

Finally, EUREKA! "Roast Beef of Old England" is right on the mark! Unlike most of the other CD's I have listened to of this type of music, this CD is the most accurate to the way the music should sound and be performed. In most other CD's, the performance of this music is done in a way which makes it sound like it belongs in a Disney cartoon instead of the historic musical treasures they are.

"Roast Beef of Old England" is wonderful! It is a great accompanyment to listen to while reading the classic books of 18th Century naval warfare by Patrick O'Brian and others. You are transported to the deck of a big 77 at action stations with Captain Jack Aubrey commanding from the quarterdeck!

If you have any interest in this era of sail or of good historical folk music, you will love this CD. Full Stars!!!
