Скачать или смотреть A Shantyman's Life

Learned from the collecting of Helene Stratman-Thomas

This is not a sea shanty, but a land shanty of sorts- the “shanty” here refers to the makeshift huts that lumberjacks stayed in while they worked in the Northwoods. Not the Stan Hugill kind of shantyman, but the Paul Bunyan kind of shantyman. I’m a Wisconsin boy through and through, yet I’ve never really dived deep into Wisconsin’s folk music, mostly because of how hard it is to find. Here’s my first foray into that world. There are many great lumberjack songs out there, and I’m assuming many great Wisconsin songs too, so hopefully this will be the first of many such recordings.
