Schooner Fare - Classic Schooner Fare

Review by Encuentro de Almas Club

Classic Schooner Fare by Schooner Fare is an album that truly lives up to its name. As one of the most beloved folk music duos in the United States, Schooner Fare has been entertaining audiences for over four decades with their unique blend of traditional and contemporary folk music.

The album features 16 tracks, each one showcasing the duo's incredible musicianship and heartfelt vocals. From the opening track "The Mary Ellen Carter" to the closing number "Lighthouse Keeper", Classic Schooner Fare takes listeners on a journey through the rich history and culture of the Maine coast.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Haul Away Joe", a traditional sea shanty that Schooner Fare has reimagined with their signature sound. The harmonies on this track are particularly impressive, and it's easy to imagine sailors singing along to this song as they hoisted sails on a schooner.

Another highlight of the album is "The Night That Paddy Murphy Died", a lively Irish folk song that will have listeners tapping their feet and clapping along. The energy and enthusiasm that Schooner Fare brings to this track is infectious, and it's clear that they have a deep appreciation for the music they are performing.
