John Townley And The Press Gang - A Chesapeake Sailor's Companion mp3

Tracklist

Notes

Four Centuries of Maritime Music on the Chesapeake Bay.” From favorites composed during the reigns of Elizabeth and James I, when tobacco was king, to Tin Pan Alley numbers of the early 20th Century, when hydraulics began to replace muscle, this Sailor’s Companion charts the history of an important musical journey. Like this nation, the songs begin an ocean away from England to Africa and are transformed by commerce, technology and social change into something uniquely American.

A meticulous researcher with musical skills to match, John Townley leads the Press Gang—a group of friends and fellow musicians who were ‘shanghaied’ into a recording studio for these sessions. Among their number are cellist Anne Waple, pianist Blanton Bradley and grand champion Scots fiddler John Turner.

Townley’s enlightening liner notes are accompanied by vintage maritime illustrations to complete this delightful package.

This release is part of the Maritime Music International Series.

Info

Chesapeake Sailor's Companion. A robust, fun album of sailing songs drawn from a number of quarters the set even includes a song about the Titanic, performed by John Townley and a motley musical crew working under the name of the Press Gang. The twin hooks for the record are the Chesapeake Bay and the Mariner's Museum, and Townley's ambition here seems to be to help revive the tradition of maritime music from all periods - there is even a ragtime tune, Sailing Down the Chesapeake Day, certainly not the usual thing one finds on an album of sailing songs.
