11 Comments on The Chieftains – I Saw Three Ships (featuring Marianne Faithfull)
Oh, poo. I went to whatever.com and couldn’t read the text because the wallpaper was too bold. Was I at the right place?
Ahh, the Chieftains, it’s been a few years.
Beautiful.
I’ll have to dig through the stacks of CDs to hear more.
How beautiful. 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Has anyone noticed that “I Saw Three Ships” is pretty close to the same tune as “Pop Goes the Weasel” ?
Lovely MJA. Thank you. Merry Christmas to all.
although I enjoy her early work (& influence on Jagger) Marianne, regrettably, is worse for the wear … used & abused by the ‘London Scene’ of the ’60’s & ’70’s
… her work on ‘The Memory Remains’ w/ Metallica is ‘OMG … make it stop!’ cringe-inducing IMO
but, The Chieftains are always fun
Marianne Faithful. Could have been the first Mrs. Paul McCartney.
oolook- Yeah, that’s him. But cut him some slack, he’s a Conservative from Canada, I believe. 😉
I love that album. We play it every Christmas morning. Jackson Browne song sounds like every other JB, but the Elvis Costello song is strong. Not very Christmas-y though. the rest of the songs are very good.
I haven’t player any of my Chieftain albums in a long time. I’ll have to dig them out now and rediscover them. Thanks for the song!
Cato- CD’s? My Chieftains, Clancy Bros. & TM, and Wolfe Tones are all on vinyl; kinda shows my age…
