"THE WIND IN THE RIGGING" - North Star Records 1985, 1994, 2006 CD

Here's a little oddity that I've actually had a hard time getting information on.

"The Wind In The Rigging: A New England Voyage" is a collection of instrumental Americana / Maritime standards (and a few originals) released by North Star Records. I've come across release dates as old as 1985 and as recent as 2006. Hell, the copy I picked up from a Goodwill didn't have a single date on it anywhere.

There's a whole slew of classically-trained musicians on this album, but the primary credit appears to belong to multi-instrumentalist Everett Brown.

It's damn near impossible to find online, and prices swing from $80 to $350+. The copy available via The Sanctum's eBay store is one of only three currently available worldwide.

For anyone into Sea Shanties, New England culture, Americana, or simply into relaxing folksy music, this is a great album to listen to. It immediately evokes images of hoisted sails and seaside taverns. Give it a listen!
