Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys
Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys While working on the two “Pirates Of The Carribean” films, Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski became fascinated with the lore and fable of the pirates and sailors who ran the high seas. Enter legendary producer Hal Wilner, who brings his knack for matching maverick musicians with extraordinary material. Artists on this double disc set include Bono, Sting, Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Richard Thompson, Lucinda Williams, Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, and many more. “Rogue’s Gallery” offers a look at the hardships, the horrors, the lusts and lurid depths, and the crystal beauty that led men to the sea in ships for hundreds of years.
Customer Review: Don’t let the cover and title fool ya’!
The first two tunes give you an idea of the musical gamet being covered here, Baby Gramps (“I gargled with battery acid before I sang this song”) followed by Richard Thompson’s appealing and ever reliable folk charm. Most of the time, the performances track the former of these paths, with music evocative of the old “Rough Trade” record label. Barbed wire guitars and such; Bill Frisell appears and his style pervades. I suppose few have ever tried to romanticize the buccaneer life, and surely this material doesn’t. The most base and debauched of what one usually associates with pirating is often the focus. Rum and the lash. Not for the faint of heart, and worthy of a warning label about the lyrics which, in places, are bawdy limeriks set to music. The package is especially misleading to those looking for a “Smithsonian Institute” recording of traditional seafaring material, especially with the cover art, one of the most famous paintings on the subject of pirate life, which has graced a fine book or two. Some good tunes in here, to be sure, which may grow on you as an acquired taste, just know what you are getting.

In addition to the turtles, there is an aquarium, a filter and a few filter bags with carbon packets, a heater, a heat lamp with red light bulb, turtle food, and floating turtle dock.
