Mark S. Fuller, North Shore North, November 15-30, 2002
... a marvelous collection of artists ...excellent title track ... captures the truth of the harrowing occupation of harvesting from the sea

Product Description
For nearly four centuries the history of Gloucester, Massachusetts has been the story of America's greatest fishing port. With this CD, we commemorate the lives and the legacy of the 10,000 Gloucester fishermen who died at sea while fishing. Performed by Allen Estes, The Souls of the Sea is a compilation of 10 original songs plus two standards which capture the heart and soul of America's most dangerous occupation: commercial fishing. The story of fishing is a true microcosm of American ideals, struggles, and values. Focusing on the fishermen and families of America's oldest fishing port, the songs capture the universal concepts of hope, perseverance, hard work, and devotion to family. One of the songs, "Where'd They Go" is the official song of The City of Gloucester (MA).

Disney.......2004-11-30

This cd is really good, i love all the songs. Ariel has always been my favourite disney classic. I only have one problem, the singers arn't the actual singers that were in the films, and thats abit of a dissapointment for me. I would recommend this cd but not to people who actually want to listen to the actual people.

Wonderful Orchestrals.......2002-02-11

What's best about Disney's animated features, is that they contain amazing orchestral scores and songs. With this CD, one can hear the nuances of the full orchestral scores of 4 of Disney's most popular features, as played and by a full symphony and chorus.

The Souls of the Sea.......2007-06-20

Wonderful CD - The music tells the story of fishermen and the dangers and joys of their work. The music is folk, blues, and country all rolled into one (something for everyone). The lyrics are great (my favorite is "Not with Your Hands"! I highly recommend this for anybody who loves the sea and New England (Gloucester)!! Estes is great and so is the whole band!

Really nice........2003-07-23

I'm really into folk music in general, and this CD is like a mix of classic folk and jazz. It has a nice smooth country twist to it too that I like, too. And being from Gloucester, I can relate to the music's background. A bit expensive, but definitely worth it I think.

More than I expected..........2003-07-23

I picked this album up because I heard good things about Allen Estes, but found that the album is more than just Mr. Estes' latest effort to break through. Through unusually good lyrics, the songs tell great stories of the community in Cape Ann, MA which most people know as the basis of the movie "Perfect Storm". While the album is rough around the edges, it opened my eyes to a world I did not know that much about. I have since read a few books on the subject and am really in awe over the bravery of the citizens of this small New England town. The music is mix of country, rock, blues, and tasteful ballads played by a great back up band and Estes at his best. I doubt you can find many albums with such a worthy purpose and message.

Christmas in Gloucester.......2004-03-30

This is one of the very best Christmas albums I have ever heard. For a New Englander born and bred, these tunes capture the very essence of our seafaring heritage. The music is simply wonderful and carries in its melodies the fears of the women, the longing for home of the men, and the joys of reunion and Christmas of the families. I am so glad to have found this CD.

One of the best in the series.......2000-05-17

Out of all the discs in the "English Anthem" series I have thus far discovered, this volume is definitely the best. The programme is a beautiful mix of styles and features composers both well-known and relatively obscure. I bought it for track three: "They that go down to the sea in ships" by Herbert Sumsion, which at the time of writing I am preparing to sing with the Choir of Selby Abbey. It is a lovely anthem with some outstanding harmonic language and a remarkably economic use of musical material. Other masterpieces on this disc include William Walton's early work "A Litany" ("Drop, drop slow tears"), Thomas Attwood's simple and beguiling "Turn thy face from my sins," John Rutter's brief but telling setting of "God be in my head" and the extremely demanding "Give me the wings of faith" by Kenneth Leighton. Each demands its own special sound world and approach, but the choir tackles this problem head on and the result is a uniform and accessible quality in each work, regardless of its style. This disc almost cries out to be added to the collection. Well done to Hyperion, the St. Paul's Cathedral Choir, Huw Williams (who provides some marvellous organ accompaniments) and of course to John Scott.

Product Description

The rousing performance by The Souls Of The Sea Band at a concert called Benefish is captured in this memorable CD. The purpose of the concert was to raise funds for organizations which support and benefit commercial fishermen, their families and their heritage. Listen and become part of the new awareness of the real American Cowboy, the commercial fisherman. In the whole history of the American work force there's been no group more rugged, more daring, tougher, or more productive and entrepreneurial than commercial fishermen. These intrepid individuals never receive wages for their work. They get a "share"of the catch after expenses. If expenses are not met the crew gets nothing, it's a "broker". The system is hard, often unfair, but is pure American capitalism, where risk and difficulty and danger are ever-present obstacles, where success requires an incredible degree of skill, ingenuity, knowledge, and teamwork. The ideal symbol of American self-reliance is the Commercial Fisherman.

Product Description

A special bond of love exists between fishermen at sea and their loved ones back on shore. Sometimes this love reaches beyond temporal understanding to the regions of the heart and soul where the connection is no longer physical. Most of these songs were inspired by the people of our nation's oldest working commercial fishing port, Gloucester, Massachusetts, from where over ten thousand fishermen have been lost at sea. This CD is dedicated to the lost fishermen and those who loved them.

Love Songs from the Harbor.......2007-06-20

Another great CD from Estes and the Souls of the Sea Band - If you liked the Souls of the Sea CD you will love this one. Some songs make you cry and others are light and fun - This CD has it all! Can't wait for the next Estes CD.
