Sailing To
Philadelphia
By Mark Knopfler
|
The Best of Christopher Cross
includes hit "Sailing"
|
Boston
They were not just another band out of Boston. Some of the
best Rock & Roll, with occasional reference to sailing.
|
Styx
Come Sail Away is always good to get things moving.
|
Loggins and
Messina
Full Sail 1973
One of the prettiest collections of soothing tracks from the 70s.
Lahaina, Watching the river run, and Sailin' the wind are all
great songs to sail by. You might try their prior album, Sittin' in, as well.
|
Loggins and
Messina
Sittin’ in 1972
Vahevella is a great sailor's tune.
|
Bob Marley
Okay, so Bob Marley did not sing about sailing, but his
reggae sound makes the world seem a better place,
especially onboard. The quintessential Marley of course is
Legend.
|
Or try a new release of One Love.
|
Eric Stone
When I first heard Eric Stone at a boat show, I thought,
"oh boy, another parrothead wannabe." But he slowly
refined his gig and Songs for Sail is a pretty nice recording
to have onboard. As Bob Bitchin' says, it's like he's
entertaining his guests onboard.

The wind in the rigging
Unique instrumental arrangements of traditional and contemporary music of the sea. A treasure chest of melodies, it evokes the spirit of a New England Voyage. Quite lovely and occasionally quite lively! Created by an entire cadre of fine musicians.

Very original, mostly humorous, boating tunes by a group from Annapolis, Maryland. Our favorite is "Marina, marina."
Not available on amazon.com but they have their own website (www.oysterboys.com).

Just great music for underway
|
|

James Galway playing Mozart - one of the the most joyful recordings I've ever heard.
|
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony - for dramatic sunsets |
| Handel's Water Music |
Vivaldi's The Four Seasons |
| Enya |
Dolores Keane/John Faulkner
Sail og Rua is not a sailing album per se, but it is one of the most hauntingly beautiful Celtic recordings ever. And you can't be Irish without looking toward the sea. The song Galway Bay is worth every penny.
|
| Christmas in the Caribbean
Christmas songs performed on steel drums.
|
|
