This month we have a special CD in our contest donated directly from the Smithsonian Institution Folkways Recordings. It is a lovely CD about Irish Pirates and songs of the Sea.
"Pirates, shanghaiers, slavers, and smugglers are just some of the central characters in this album of lusty, authentic maritime songs; others are ardent patriots, hard-pressed immigrants, and weathered sailors sheltering in the taverns of the seven seas. All are midway between some dicey spot in life and an uncertain future. Their compelling stories of bold adventure are excitingly re-told here by an all-star crew of Irish Singers and musicians. 58 minutes, 40-page booklet with photos."
Smithsonian Folkways Recordings was very interested in our site and broadcasts. And they donated a CD for this months contest. You can of course download the digit copy from the Smithsonian:
