Guilty Pleasures: Rogues Gallery

Rogue’s Gallery CD

It was hard not to start this review with some totally lame-O pirate cliche.

I first heard about this disc on NPR, and knew immediately that I had to have it.

Basically, at the urging of Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski, decided to try to find actual sea chanteys to use in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. This led to legendary producer Hal Wilner ( Also of the excellent spoken word CD,Closed on Account of Rabies: Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe).

This is excellent music for writers. The star-studded cast of singers just let it all hang out and have a blast. Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Sting and Baby Gramps are all standouts. Baby Who?:
