"Now in their fourth year of performing at sundry faires and festivals, The Crossjacks have built up an extensive and diverse repertoire (and fan base). Their debut album features a savvy smorgasbord of sea chanteys, traditional Celtic and Gypsy folk, and a couple of more modern favorites. The Crossjacks are an archetypical festival band at heart, with a penchant for the piratical and some impressive musical chops. They're very adept at putting their own spin on classic material without changing its essence. The songs remain comfortably familiar, but with new life. This is an album that will delight faire and festival goers of all interests, as well as any fans of traditional folk music."
