Customer Reviews

aargh, salty tunes
This is a fun CD, more for kids than adults. It has loads of authentic sound effects from a pirate ship and pirates cavorting in the background set to music. However these are nice pirates, not the mean and nasty sort. They seem to look out for each other and give free advice to a new pirate. A few of the songs are memorable and fun for adults too.

The only thing I didn't like was the sudden change from authentic sounding period instruments, to the next song having an electric guitar. It was a little jolting. If I had read the editorial review closer I would have seen the words "Rock band" so I don't blame the musicians. It was worth the price.

Best Children's music I've ever heard!
I have four boys ages 1, 4, 7, and 12, and they *all* love this CD. The adults love it too, and after having it for a month and playing it pretty often, we like it more than ever.

The songs range from a lovely environmental ballad about the manatee to a rolicking Monty Python-esque song called Scurvy that never fails to get us up dancing.

A quality that I really appreciate as a parent, is the emphasis on the camaraderie among the pirates, the kindness they show for each other. The amazing thing is that, this is all done without an ounce of sappiness!

To sum up, every song on this CD is fantastic, it's definately a must have for any child even remotely interested in pirates!

A kids album the way it ought to be done...
Captain Bogg & Salty's Bedtime Stories for Pirates is one of the best children's CD's I've ever heard. Thanks to the masterful skill of Kevin Hendrickson and Loren Hoskins, once you push play you're instantly whisked away into a world of buccaneers, camaraderie and adventure. The songs are all charismatic, whether they be rowdy pirate stompers such as "Scurvy" or sweet tender tunes such as "Manatee". The best cut on the album, by far is "Weather Eye", in my opinion. In summary, you can't go wrong with this CD, if you've got wee swashbucklers or not.
