Beautiful!

From Son Of Rogue's Gallery compilation album.

[www.folkradio.co.uk]

To be released in February.

You beat me to it! Some tasty guitar from Keith. Tom Waits knows his way around a sea chantey.

Interesting...I guess Keith's Pirates of the Caribbean pedigree added something to the song that Waits had to have.

Love Keefs background vocals too, and guitars ofcourse!!!
beautiful song

Ha! GITANE cigarettes, all my good years!

Fake pirate, the last escape for drunken mumblers.

100,000,000 times better than Dylan's awful 1988 version on Down In The Groove.

Van Morrison does a great version with The Chieftains. Bill Frisell doesn't do too badly with it either.

Speaking of Rogues Gallery: Mingulay Boat Song by Richard Thompson is excellent, as is Good Ship Venus by Loudon Wainwright, and Baltimore Whores by Gavin Friday.

Hal Wilner is great as a producer of strange, esoteric material, be it Disney on Stay Awake, Mingus on Weird Nightmare, and Poe poems and stories on Closed On Account of Rabies.

Keith sounds like an Angel compare to Tom

It's beautiful indeed! Keith also plays guitar, even some fresh open G in there

Shane did an earlier version of Leaving of The Liverpool with the Pogues: it's a bonus track on Red Roses For Me.

Flandyke Shore crops up on Marianne's Easy Come, Easy Go album. However, I am seriously looking forward to this album.

Great to see, that there are other pogues-fans here on iorr (I think stonestod likes them as well)! As far as I know, Leaving of Liverpool was released as a b.side on the Sally Maclennane 12inch single

Pogues are great: they did Greenland Whale Fisheries too, and South Australia.

The Pogues loved sea chanteys, after all what is The Irish Rover, but a sea chantey. I wonder if people know that there's an extra verse to the Irish Rover ?

the first chapter is one of my favourite compilation but at least from the line up this promises to be even better
tom + keith is always a pleasure and priceless

Why can't Keith sound this impassioned with the Stones nowadays..?

Bah. Not my thing.

I'm surprised they didn't mix some burps and farts in there.

Probably would have been better BowieStone, to leave it at that...

Actually they spent considerable time and energy mixing them out...it was littered with farts

Wait for the deluxe edition.

What's the consensus on when/what Keith plays exactly, the noodling at 1'37 ? Harmonies too? I think I prefer "Handsome Molly" not that I care much for that style ;-)

not far from wingless angels

what a piece a crap waits is.
