Free Music Review: A mainstream release for Shanty Music? Thank You, Mr. Depp!
Hit: 5 Stars
Hi friends, my name is Dean Calin, one of the singers with Bounding Main. We have released two CDs and are working on our third. I've been performing sea shanties since 1995 and am personal friends with many of the Big Name Performers in this genre. I love the traditional stuff and think that it is Important Music, both for our culture and history. That said, Bounding Main delivers traditional sea shanties and maritime music with arrangements for the modern ear. There are people out there like Tom Lewis and David HB Drake and Lee Murdock doing the songs the traditional way and doing them well. It was our choice to perform in Elizabethan mariner costumes (if you want to call us "pirates," okee-dokee) and to write and perform harmonic and theatrical arrangments. Some of the traditional performers are kvetching like mad about this CD: "Johnnie Depp is going to make tons of money with mainstream artists who don't even know what this music is about, when (this traditional artist) and (another traditional artist) have been out on the ships and the cold, getting wet and bringing the history to the people!" My take is that if Mssrs. Depp, Verbinski, et. al. can bring maritime music to the mainstream, it will only benefit ALL of us!
A side note: I actually hold myself responsible for this album. When the film crew was down in the Carribbean filming PotC2 I was able to get a copy of our first CD, "Maiden Voyage" down to them. I thought our song "Derelict" would be perfect for the film, as it is the quintessential pirate tune ("Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum . . ."). I never heard back from them, but the movie started off with the character, Gibbs, drinking from his flask and singing NOT the Xavier Atenico and George S. Burn's "A Pirates Life for Me" but "Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum . . ." So, the song, sort of made it into the film. And contemporary interpretations of sea shanties became an album produced by the crew that made the movie. Coincidence? You decide.
Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys Poster
While working on the two "Pirates Of The Carribean" films, Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski became fascinated with the lore and fable of the pirates and sailors who ran the high seas. Enter legendary producer Hal Wilner, who brings his knack for matching maverick musicians with extraordinary material. Artists on this double disc set include Bono, Sting, Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Richard Thompson, Lucinda Williams, Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, and many more. "Rogue's Gallery" offers a look at the hardships, the horrors, the lusts and lurid depths, and the crystal beauty that led men to the sea in ships for hundreds of years.Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski hatched the idea for Rogue's Gallery while filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"--that idea being to cast genteel rock superstars like Bono, Lou Reed, Bryan Ferry, Andre Corr, and Sting to reinterpret gritty seafaring standards for an exhaustive 43-track double-disc set produced by Hal Wilner. Throw in a bunch of credible folk stars (Loudon Wainwright III, Richard Thompson), their offspring (Rufus, Teddy) and a string of other curious characters (Jarvis Cocker, Antony) and what results is one of the strangest compilations in recent memory, if not exactly the most historically authentic or, well, digestible. Nick Cave embraces the role just a little too hard on "Fire Down Below," while Ferry can't help but sound like he's singing for the cast of "The Love Boat," but cut through the chaff and there is some real bootie here: Bono's "Dying Sailor to His Shipmates," Jolie Holland's "The Grey Funnel Line" and "Boney" by a mysterious tramp called Jack Sh**, which must be some kind of anagram for Johnny Depp. --Aidin Vaziri
