On Deck and Below

The Johnson Girls
On Deck and Below
On Deck & Below is a collection of sea shanties and maritime songs with origins spanning as west as the Columbia River and as east as Sussex, England; as north as Nova Soctia and as south as the Turks. They are skillfully and powerfully sung a capella by the Johnson Girls (Joy Bennet, Deirdre Murtha, Bonnie Milner, and Alison Kelley-Kraan) for their third release originally on the Folk-Legacy label.
