Haul Away

I thought it would be fun to try to make a Hip Hop version of a Sea Shanty. The vocal was recorded as part of some work I did for a local staging of Eugene O'Neill's Sea Plays. The rest was cobbled together from a few samples in Abelton.

Cool Vibe, I like the Synth lines, the mix feels a bit wonky, overall a really awesome track!

This is awesome. I played Haul Away Joe as a fill-in for a celtic-rock band at the end of 2012. Was really fun. This is an awesome interpretation of the track.

Hip hop sea shanty? Yes!

cool idea. quite odd mixing here, that works much better than I would expect. nice.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Appreciated. This is a pretty good forum to work on your chops!
