This fun and delightful album is a dulcet bridge between contemporary music and traditional maritime music. Maiden Voyage is Bounding Main’s freshman album where they have assembled a group of songs that focus on maritime work songs, English country tunes and Irish songs popular in the folk revival of the ’50s and ’60s. This group of theatrical performers have added rich harmonies to the songs in this collection, creating a strong differentiator from the ultra-traditional treatment given by other bands.
