About the Artist
Back in the 20th century, two members of the popular Seattle-based steel drum band, The Toucans (http://www.blarg.net/~toucans), began playing traditional Irish music in their spare time. After a few years of playing steel drums, and a few years of playing Irish music, they joined forces with a third musician just back from Ireland, and the Toucan Pirates were born. Their first album (Sea Chantyes of the Toucan Pirates) was well-received by the international pirate community. Now you can continue the adventure with Battle Songs of the Toucan Pirates, the exciting sequel! BAND_MEMBERS: Robber McRoy - Accordion, Concertina, Pennywhistle Barnacle Bailey - Bass Guitar, Steel Drums, Percussion Knucklebones O'Laughlin - Tenor Banjo, Guitar, Mandolin, Bozouki

Unique and Woderfully Piratey.......2007-01-14

I really enjoy the way the Toucan Pirates put a new twist on traditional Irish music. I am very interested in the whole pirate lore, and found that this and the other Toucan Pirate albums are very good at creating a pirate mood and setting. I highly recommend it.

Not what I expected.......2007-01-09

I was looking for sea chanties (shanties) for my husband. This is all instrumental and more Irish/Celtic in spirit. I like the music and will continue to enjoy it (more than I personally would have like the sea chanties), but it was not what I expected.

good pirate music, but hardly text.......2006-07-29

i can agree to the other reviewers that the music is good and fitting for pirates but i wanted something more lyric like. they hardly have any text. if your fine with that good cd, if you wanna more of a sdong rather than instrumental tune dont get it.

Solid Cd.......2005-10-19

This is a very solid showing in the pirate music catagory. Pirate music is hard to find and good pirate music is almost impossible to find. Worth the money. Arg.

Perfect pirate playing.......2004-12-14

If you want piratey music that isn't a children's sing-along album, this is perfect! Good music. Sound effects and "story" just set the mood.
