A couple of weeks ago I posted Nickelback's self-parodying sea shanty version of their hit "Rockstar". Readers seemed to enjoy it, and a number expressed an interest in more "modernized" sea shanties.
While looking for more, I came across Jonathan Young's album of heavy metal sea shanties. Some I enjoyed, others less so, but they're certainly a very contemporary look at a time-honored musical tradition. Here are a few of them, some old, some relatively new, in no particular order.
If you enjoyed these, you'll find much more of Mr. Young's music on his YouTube channel, and at his Web site.
