Ahoy Mates and welcome to me hideaway. I have just recently dug up another treasure that had been buried under the rest of me cd arrs. This CD has been out a while as well as the one on the last review.

The Bilge Pumps, another great Pirate band, released their Bail Money CD back on September 19^th.

It's a great CD with a lot of traditional shanties, such as Strike the Bell, Santiano, and The Derelict. I have always liked their version of Johnny Jump UP and The Dark Lady, and on this album, they are still fantastic. Banana Boat Ride and Beggarman would have to be my new two favorite songs from this album. It is a fun CD in the traditional Bilge Pumps way, with a few “After Dark” songs on it, meaning put the youngster to bed before listening to certain songs. But then it wouldn't be piratey if didn't have at least one song “pushing the boundaries” It's a great CD for music collector or just someone who wants to hear different types of music now and again.

aye it has been a fortnight or two since  me deadlights  have wondered through these waters. Now I have repainted the ship er website, I will be havin to make a change or two here or there till I figure out if I likes wot I sees!! So far so good. now to get back to the pirateing  business.   a quick review of the Musical Blades CD Pieces of Eight Treasures of Old.  I liked what I heard of course, and would recommend it to any swashbuckling music fan. The version of The Derelict on this CD is probably the best I have heard simply because the music seems to fit the song more so than the song is piratey, as many many groups  have a version of this song, including Skip Henderson, which is one of my favorites and a more upbeat version. Getting back to The Blades,  Pieces of Eight had some of my favorite songs  including  Pirate Heaven, Johnny Home and a little newer version of Hollywood Pirate. Good stuff for the Pirate enthusiast. Treasures of old was a cd included that had  traditional
shanties and I fell in love with quite a few of them  including Fire Maringo, The Girls of Dublin town, Wild Colonial Boy, Byker Hill and Roll the Woodpile Down. Good Music for the drive to work, hanging around the house,  around the campfire or sailing the seas. Get your copy today!
