Dan Milner - Irish Pirate Ballads And Other Songs Of The Sea

Pirates, shanghaiers, slavers, and smugglers are just some of the central characters in this album of lusty, authentic maritime songs; others are ardent patriots, hard-pressed immigrants, and weathered sailors sheltering in the taverns of the seven seas. All are midway between some dicey spot in life and an uncertain future. Among the mighty crew are Joanie Madden of Cherish the Ladies, John Doyle of Solas, Tim Collins of the Kilfenora Ceili Band, All-Ireland champion fiddler Brian Conway, Robbie O'Connell and Susan McKeown.......Enjoy
