Drunken Sailor, Listener Album Review

[hlegg]

Love this album. The Irish Rovers just make me feel good and they're getting better with age! Two favorites are Titanic and Whores and Hounds. Embarrassed to say I didn't actually know Titanic was built in Belfast until I heard the song - really beautiful.

Review of the Irish Rovers "Drunken Sailor" authored by Carol Stepp....

"Back in the 1960s, I managed a merchant seamans' bar in Corpus Christi, Texas. I had the privilege, for a few years, of serving "booze" to men (and a few women) from all over the world who came in on merchant ships. This was one of the best times of my life.

Fast forward a few years to a time when I had a chance to see The Irish Rovers live in concert - a quartet I had long liked because of their song "The Unicorn", and which took me to buying two of their cassettes. They did a good show, and somehow, I got a tin whistle from one of them, which I have to this day. Unfortunately, as music came in on better sources (like CDs), my tapes got relegated to a box and I forgot about the Rovers for a time...."
