Music reviews of Buried Treasure of the Toucan Pirates
Music Review: Great for kids or museums. Not for a pirate party for grownups.
Rating: 4 Stars
The musicianship on this CD is quite nice, as is the selection of songs. The Toucan Pirates have certainly done their homework in terms of researching the traditional music of the British Isles and playing it on period instruments, along with some good background sound effects, movie samples, and a hint of Caribbean steel drums. If you're looking for pirate music for an exhibit on pirates or are having a pirate party for kids, this is the perfect CD for you. It's reasonably lively and the pacing changes enough to keep it interesting as background music.
If, however, you are an adult who is going to have a pirate party for adults (poker, drinking, etc.) then this CD may be a bit plodding and tame for you. For that purpose, I would instead recommend bands like The Pogues (particularly about half the tracks on "If I should Fall From Grace with God") and select cuts from Flogging Molly, Tears for Beers, The Chieftains, and The Dubliners.
This is actually a very good CD, just not for the wild Pirate Party I'm planning on thowing! My favorite cut is the Garryowen, which still makes my hair stand on end because of my associations of it with poignant scenes from the movie, "Little Big Man," where it's played by General Custer's band as they march into battle.

Description of Buried Treasure of the Toucan Pirates
Arrr, mateys! The brave lads of the Toucan Pirates return from their third voyage to Ireland, Scotland, England & the Shetland Isles with another boatload of musical gems.Each salty tune has been recovered from the holds of many a sunken treasure galleon, or discovered on faraway West Indian islands using dusty old treasure maps.
The sequel to Sea Changes of the Toucan Pirates, this rollicking album contains authentically piratical instrumentals played on Concertina, Tin Whistle, Irish Bouzouki, Tenor Banjo and Button Accordion.
The Toucan Pirates add in a treasure chest of pirate sound effects to heighten the adventure. There's even a West Indian steel drum, for that "Pirates of the Caribbean" flavor! Kids love it!
