Baby Gramps - Cape Town Girls
i found this song on an album called “rogue’s gallery.” i saw a magazine article somewhere that mentioned the research that went into making this album. i guess a few curious souls dug into long lost manuscripts of pirate ballads and sea chanteys and hired one of the most interesting lineups of artists i had seen. the idea of a gang of music dorks huddled around a pirate’s chest of songs and stories arced my brain so acutely, that i ran to my computer and ordered the disc, sound unheard.
this song is the opening track on the album, and although i totally fell in love with this album, i am told by my friends that it is poop. i disagree.
i guess spending a huge part of my life as a music critic turned me into one of those weirdos who has to chase the dragon ever further down the hole. if that is he case, then so be it.
freak your ears out with this track, dammit.
