Excerpts from the
sleeve notes:
" This
album is a collection of the sea songs I love best and represents an
ongoing body of work drawn from newly composed ballads to fresh
arrangements of traditional ones.
" …this album fulfils a twofold role, celebrating the romance of ships, boats and the power of the ocean over all our lives on the one hand and paying tribute to the great luthiers like Stefan Sobell, Joe Foley, Andy Manson, Dave Farmiloe, Oakwood bouzoukis …Ibanez and Washburn and the great craftsmen and innovators like Lloyd Loar who worked for the Gibson guitar and mandolin company in the States "
Jimmy Crowley, April 2000
