![Celtic Vital Signs [Reels, Rhymes & Rebellion]](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TAvrmY8LOsA/VVM5MGyp7_I/AAAAAAAAE1Q/-yejEU9LQgM/s1600/zooreka_celtic_river___updated_by_gypsyh-d2kyfm4%2B%25281%2529f.jpg)
Here is an excellent collection of Sea Shantys by the equally excellent Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem. Released in 1968 Sing Of The Sea contains songs with Celtic origins plus songs from all over the world, songs of every subject matter under the stars — work — love — loneliness — always the truth about the way they felt — "For love is king to the least of men, though he be but a drunken tar" — or "My dear old mother wrote to me, 'Son, dear son, come home from sea.'". Sing Of The Sea remains one of my favourite Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem albums....it's a joy to listen to.
