Shanty Dam's Live At The Mean Fiddler album is a captivating and energetic performance that showcases the band's raw talent and impressive musical range. From the opening notes of "Rolling Home" to the closing chords of "Whiskey In The Jar," the album is a non-stop barrage of foot-stomping rhythms, soaring melodies, and soulful vocals.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Leaving Of Liverpool," a traditional folk song that the band infuses with their own unique style, creating a rousing and unforgettable rendition. Another highlight is "Santiano," a sea shanty that features some of the band's most impressive vocal harmonies and guitar work.
Throughout the album, Shanty Dam demonstrates their mastery of a wide range of musical genres, from traditional folk and sea shanties to blues and rock. The band's infectious energy and enthusiasm are palpable, and it's clear that they're having as much fun playing as the audience is listening.
