On The Shelf 083- Son of Rogue's Gallery
I was talking to someone the other day (was it here?) and they said "Johnny Depp really thinks he is a pirate doesn't he?"
Son of Rogue's Gallery won't help.
It's a collection of 'pirate songs, sea songs, and chanteys', and it's put together by Depp and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski
Many of my favorite artists- Shane MacGowan, Tom Waits, Marc Almond, Richard Thompson, to name a few- have worked pirate songs into the ouevre. No surprise, they all appear here.
This is actually a sequel to 2006's Rogue's Gallery put together by Depp & Verbinski which featured Bono, Nick Cave, Sting, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed and John C. Reilly.
Still, it seems the sequel is getting more attention. It features duets and team-ups like MacGowan & Depp, Courtney Love & Michael Stipe, and (although it's not the first they have worked together) Tom Waits and Keith Richards.
Again, a star studded affair. Beth Orton, Iggy Pop, Angelica Huston, Sean Lennon, Macy Gray, Todd Rundgren, and Tim Robbins all contribute.
I am goinjg to throw my two cents in- that from previous experience, I know I don't listen to albums like this. It's got a lot of talent, it's a completist's dream, and it's reasonably priced. Still, even though i appreciate this when the Pogues, Marc Almond, or Richard Thompson work this into a set list, I just can't say I would listen to it.
Still, others need to know about it, so here it is.

The more upbeat pairing of Shane & Johnny
