Today, it is hard to believe how popular sea shanties were in the mid-1960s. The most vigorous song on this album is "Greenland Fisheries" with Ronnie Browne shouting "There She Blows" at the start of the song, at the top of his voice. "Jock O' Braidislee" is sung unaccompanied by Ronnie Browne. Paddie Bell sings "Lord Gregory" with only her banjo for accompaniment. The album begins with four songs associated with the game of Two balls and a wall.

Famous quotes containing the word comments:
“Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
