Roy Harris songs
Bold Sportsmen All CD (1998) (Import) United Kingdom
 $14.55  
A fairly entertaining collection, though more minor in interest than many Topic releases -- there is still enough of interest to make it worth picking up. ~ Steven McDonald
These songs of sport and betting evoke a packed landscape of hunts and racecourses, boxing rings and football pitches, cockfighting pits, card tables and poolrooms, in boisterous renditions by Ewan MacColl, A.L.Lloyd and Roy Harris. The songs touch on gambling, horse racing, soccer (with old favorite "Football Crazy" here in a variant, "Gaelic Football"), highway robbery, boxing, and pool -- though the last is celebrated in "The Govan Pool-Hall Song," which is as much about the rampant thuggery once practiced in the Govan district of Glasgow. Originally released as BOLD SPORTSMEN ALL on Topic Records in 1958 and
An album compiled from three different sources (a 10" LP, an EP, and three songs about highwaymen), with the selections split fairly evenly between MacColl and Lloyd, with one entry from Roy Harris ("The Saucy Bold Robber," following the version set down by Lloyd).

Sailor's Songs & Sea Shanties CD (2004)
Roy Harris music CDs
$9.69
A shanty is a work song with generally simple lines followed by a unison chorus that helped sailors complete tasks that required some degree of coordinated timing. First, there is a difference between sailors' songs and sea shanties, a difference in utility.

Round Cape Horn: Traditional Songs Of Sailors, Ships And The Sea CD (1998) (Import) United Kingdom
Roy Harris CD discography
$14.55
There's really nothing like songs of the sea, properly performed by soloists or ensembles -- it's no matter of beauty or grandeur, more one of rough-hewn presence, where the relationship to accurate musicality is equivalent to a sailor standing on
