I was about to ask Marc for any links to hear samples of Pat Sheridan and Brasy ("Rolling Home"), too. I did not find any audio, but weirdly enough I found the liner notes. Here's what they've got for "Shallow Brown."

14. Shallow Brown
This is a West Indies sea shanty. It started life as a pumping shanty. In the latter days of sail it was usually sung at halyards but Doerflinger states that it was used to bowse down tacks and sheets.

A version of the song was recorded around 1983 by Peter Bellamy with the Watersons', it is from a private tape in the Fellside Records archive and was released in 1999 on the Peter Bellamy retrospective Wake the Vaulted Echoes: A Celebration of Peter Bellamy (8 Sept '44 to 24 Sept '91). It demonstrates the close link between sea shanties and slave songs and was collected both by Cecil Sharp and also by Stan Hugill in his Shanties from the Seven Seas (1961).

June Tabor also recorded a version of Shallow Brown in 1997 for her album Aleyn. She commented in the sleeve notes:
Originally a pumping shanty of West Indian origin, sometimes sung as Challo Brown. Challo being Carib for half-casts (Hugill, Shanties from the Seven Seas).

Our version here is different again and was adapted from yet another version by Craig Edwards in Mystic Seaport. Ct. and could be used for halyards or capstan.

Pat sings a different capstan version of Shallow Brown on the Warp Four CD 'A Hundred Years Ago'

The album has an interesting track list, which I'd like to check out. A lot of the songs that a "hot" these days (does that sound weird to say????) especially in America, and in interpretations that are current, too. For example, Marc Bernier's rendition of "Dan Dan" and the Bahamas version of "Come Down You Roses."
