Description
Shanties collected from John Short in 1914
This is the third of three CDs which record the repertoire of John Short –
a.k.a. Yankee Jack – of Watchet, Somerset in England's West Country,
who, in 1914, gave the folk-song collector Cecil Sharp nearly sixty shanties, several in early rare versions. John spent over fifty years working in sailing boats, much of his younger days in deep-water ships, sailing all around the world as a shantyman. The songs are performed with a variety of arrangements from full accompaniment to unaccompanied with a full chorus. Sung by: Jim Mageean, Jeff Warner, Keith Kendrick, Jackie Oates, Roger Watson, Sam Lee, Tom Brown, Barbara Brown, Doug Bailey.
Also available WGS381CD Short Sharp Shanties Vol.1. WGS382CD Short Sharp Shanties Vol. 2 .
