comments

Today it is hard to believe how popular sea shanties were in the mid-sixties. The most vigorous song on this album is "Greenland Fisheries" with Ronnie Browne shouting "There She Blows" at the start of the song, at the top of his voice. "Jock O' Braidislee" is sung unaccompanied by Ronnie Browne. Paddie Bell sings "Lord Gregory" with only her banjo for accompaniment. On this album there is only one Jacobite song (Lock The Door, Lariston), though the group later made it a frequent feature of their concerts. In view of the way the Corries later developed it is surprising that Roy Williamson can barely be detected. By contrast, Paddie Bell's plaintive voice leads on three songs. The album begins with four songs associated with the game of Two balls and a wall.
