Thread Name: Is High Barbaree a traditional song?
Subject: RE: Is High Barbaree a traditional song?
I need to flavor me book with High Barbaree. Most a’ the crew on this pirate ship be thinkin’ Oscar Brands version wins hands down - aye includin’ them versions tha’ be goin back to the1600s and none ud be caught dead singin any a these other versions. So Brand did his own version of it - does this mean i would need permission from the co. That owns the recording rights to his version or would i not because of it being a traditional shanty. Thanks
