One of the smartest decisions for this album was including Anna. Even though metal isn't her genre she definitely has the voice for it.

Damn the new version of “Leave Her Johnny” is the best thing from this album release. Thank you Jon for making a complete and incredible version of this magnificent song!!

[@jedknight4389]

It's great, but I don't think it's 'new'. Sounds like a pitch-adjusted version of the one he released during lockdown. Still brilliant, but I don't know if it's exactly new.

[@LeMedjayYT]

@@jedknight4389 It's definitely a new version, during lockdown it was an acoustic piano version with only a lead vocal and above all it wasn't a full version. On the album we have a full version with a completely different arrangement and some harmonies.

[@jedknight4389]

@@LeMedjayYT Sure, but I'm talking specifically about the vocals. I'm pretty sure they're adjusted from the lockdown video, not re-recorded

[@LeMedjayYT]

@@jedknight4389 In any case even if the first part was taken from the old cover the second part necessarily comes from a new recording.

[@laurelmcneilly741]

Definitely new, it's done in a higher key to start with. Not to mention new verses. I actually prefer the first one.

[@Schnarchnase]

I love how Anna goes heavy everytime she has a part.

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

I really love her voice but the stuff she publishes herself is... questionable, to say the least. That's a true shame. In a perfect world, she'd be a metal singer. Too bad we live in the worst timeline. Gotta take what we can get :D

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

@@ytubestolemyhandle YES finally someone who agrees! Shes got an exceptional range but shes definitely more suited for louder harder music.

[@Xbox_HonorGuard_Ra]

I start crying every time Northwest Passage comes on and I have no idea why. Fantastic work guys. Thank you for this.

[@harrietharlow9929]

In my case it is because so many died in the attempts to make the passage. Especially, I think of Franklin, Crozier and their crews. What a savage place to die.

Jonathan's last verse in Northwest Passage is his best vocal performance yet. The dynamics in the "like them I left a settled life, I threw it all away!" are just amazing!

[@shadowldrago]

I have nothing clever to say. I'm just glad you're enjoying making these and I hope that you continue being able to make whatever you please because you deserve it. You're a real one.

@@MarieMaillard Well clearly, it is to lure him. Like a bird call.

[@kliajesal4592]

My personal favorite is Hoist The Colors. I cannot emphasize enough just how important it was that you kept the slow tempo of the song to give it its full weight. Wellerman places an extremely close second, along with everything else that has Anna in it. More collabs with Anna would be very welcome!

[@thebabysmoke]

For those who are interested. The song "Santiana" is an inspired cover of the French song "Santiano" by Hugues Aufrey and best known for the band's cover version of "Les marins d'Iroise".

You're use of Northwest Passage brought a warm feeling to my heart. I sincerely hope you credit Stan on your album, since he was a legend in his own right.

[@MarieMaillard]

My whole family loves this album: my fisherman dad especially. Feels like it changed our little lives. It's gives power when we are down (we recommend it to all those who feel the bite of depression). We've never cared for heavy metal but this is the most glorious and threrapeutic album ever! You all sound spectacular! Your skills are unmatched! 🖤

[@LeahLovesNature]

I am so happy for you, Jon! I just discovered you last year thanks to Baldur's Gate 3, but I'm really glad I did. BG3 was also how I first discovered Colm and Anna, and these sea shanties led me to find more of Caleb and Rich's work (I mostly knew Rich for video game music and Caleb from a few of Rich's videos). I can't believe what I've been missing out on all these years! Now I want to write a big, long story about this crew, using a lot of you guys' other covers and some of your original songs, too.

[@BoderDM]

This whole album has given great inspiration for our Pirate/Sailing DnD campaign. My players are only going into their second monthly session and don't have a ship yet, but this album is giving me so many ideas and great inspiration for adventure hooks. Whether it's dark and foreboding from Hoist the Colors or lighthearted and fun like Santiana, I can't get enough. Thank you!

[@Chryssta]

Gonna be honest, that is definitely the version of "Leave her Johnny" we didn't know we needed until now. There was more feeling in y'all's singing than I'd heard in almost every other rendition. Thank you.
