Please take a moment to experience Keith Richards and Tom Waits doing their rendition of "Shenandoah" - the traditional sea shanty. This track came to me context-free so I had to look it up. Turns out there's an entire album called Son of Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys that came out a couple months ago. The creative forces behind this are Johnny Depp, Gore Verbinski and Hal Willner – the creative forces behind the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Go figure.
Anyway, I'm playing this thing and my elder wants to know what it is. "It sounds like orcs singing," he opines. And, y'know, if orcs had a spiritual it would probably sound a lot like that.
