Thread Name: Lyr Req: Suitable shanties for female singers
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Suitable shanties for female singers
I generally agree that what a man can sing a woman can do as well, it's just things like Kate Rusby making a twee love song out of a shanty that annoys me. If someone took a beautiful love song or any quiet thoughtful song ie. ' There Were Roses ' and turned it into a rip roaring shanty, people would be up in arms.
