"Haul Away, Joe," has always been my favorite sea shanty. Don't know why, just hits me in the right place, I guess. I've heard many versions and enjoyed them all. But this low key and very deliberate pace, plus the splendid harmonizing by these talented young guys, combine to make this version unusually powerful and moving, for me at least. Anybody else think so? Would love to garner other opinions about this:) --
These guys are like the "ring-tail" cabin boys who serviced the sailors. They should have sung and danced it with no pants on - that's how they'd have done it on the ship!
well it wasnt as good as the way my choir sang it but i got to give props to the second soloist, he did awesome. i sang that same verse when my choir sang it... except our first soloist was better
Does anyone know who arranged this piece? I love it.

@Haleyjoy0 I'm pretty sure it was Ken Burg - the director.
