Info for Son Of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys

Son of Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys, produced by Hal Willner. Executive produced by Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski, the compilation two-disc recording of sea shanties features Tom Waits, Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, Sean Lennon and many more. The album is a follow up to Willner’s 2006 production, Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys (Anti-), which was praised by The New York Times calling it “a strong album with heart as well as ideas” and Entertainment Weekly hailing it as “a revelatory folk-song collection with the sea in the leading role.”

The idea for ROGUE’S GALLERY originated when Verbinski and Depp were working on their second film together, the upcoming Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. “I slowly became fascinated by the idea of a contemporary reinterpretation of the sea chantey,” explains Verbinski. “I imagined the artists that I listen to and respect doing their take on this age-old music: the song of the sea.”

Verbinski then “described the project in detail to my old friend Brett Gurewitz (owner of Epitaph and Anti) who immediately understood its wondrous and strange potential. I also asked Johnny Depp if it might be something that he would like to be involved with. He has a great musical aesthetic, and as my partner in the films, his opinion is one I value. I’ve always believed Johnny is a musician first and the actor thing is just his day job. We met with Brett and put together a list of artists that we intended to go after, but were immediately confounded with the question: who would produce? Who would be mad enough to take this on?”

The project took shape when Hal Willner became “the captain of this vessel,” says Verbinski. “From that germinating withering pubic hair of an idea, Hal set sail and returned with what you hear today. He did everything.” Willner brought his knack for matching maverick musicians with extraordinary material to the project, as shown on his best-selling Disney tribute album Stay Awake and his acclaimed tributes to Kurt Weill, Charles Mingus, Nino Rota and others.

“When I was asked to do the album, I went into a world I didn’t know--which is what appealed to me,” says Willner. Immersing himself in antique bookstores, eBay, old record stores, and the Internet for hours and hours, Willner collected some 600 songs and then went about narrowing the song selection down for the album. In March 2006, the recordings began--and the process was joyously freewheeling.

“His far-ranging musical sensibility makes Willner the perfect man for this job…” (Philadelphia Inquirer)

“…relevant and underappreciated folk music.” (Chicago Tribune)
