The Sailor's Revenge

The Sailor's Revenge is the eighth solo album by Bap Kennedy.

[1] All tracks composed by Bap Kennedy In his review in The Telegraph, Martin Chilton wrote: On The Sailor's Revenge, the tracks are well written, the singing is good and the musicianship first class—unsurprising, since Jerry Douglas, James Walbourne, Guy Fletcher, Glenn Worf and John McCusker are among those playing.

Special praise, too, for Michael McGoldrick, who is stunning on flutes, pipes and whistle.

But it's Bap—the 50-year-old older brother of singer Brian Kennedy—who is the real star of the show.

He's an adroit songwriter and he can cover soul, country and folk with ease.
