Definitely Marley, Family of The Year, and Dawes.

The turistas that frquent the kitschy tiki bars are looking for the Island Ambience...I don't begrudge them that.....Whether it is Jimmy Buffet or Oil Drum Bands....with their unintelligible wailing....it all gets old....ah...the price we pay for being sailors

Well... Not a fan of Jimmy Buffet. However, "A Pirate Looks at Fourty" by Jimmy is a fantastic song.

Jack Johnson does a nice cover of it too.

. That isn't the studio version, but all I could find.

We also have a "best of" mix we made that's from all the Great Big Sea albums.

Video of "Old Black Rum"

.

Their version of Drunken Sailor is good too

(excuse the weird video, only one I could find).

Aside from that sort of stuff, reggae reggae reggae, a huge selection.


We usually just trade our entire library with others. A good way to accumulate tons of good tunes!

Cheers
