“The Swinging Sailor of Perryman” is Captain Quint's sophomore release. It picks up where Quint's 'trop rock' debut, "Pineapple Jam", left off, but this time around the Captain has added lots of world music influences, including sounds from New Orleans, Jamaica, Trinidad, Africa, and Cuba. Quint also enlisted the aid of some fine engineers, including Secret Sound's John Grant (basic tracking, same as on "Pineapple Jam"), Shannon Follin from nationally-renowned Omega Studios in DC (mixing), and Nashville stalwart Jim DeMain (mastering). You may recognize DeMain as the man behind the board for Billy Joel, Nancy Griffith, Los Straitjackets, John Hiatt, and Jimmy Buffett's "License to Chill".
TRACK LISTING
Ballad of the Wooden Lady Prelude - Lower Him Down The Swinging Sailor of Perryman Tortuga Rocksteady and Rum High on Love A Pirate's Confession Postlude - Cape Fear I Don't Know You Anymore Prelude - Tango en Fuego Port Royale

IT'S A FACT!
The title track is based on the story of sea captain John Clark Monk, an almost mythical figure in Chesapeake Bay folklore. Maryland legend has long maintained that the eccentric Monk was ‘buried’ by his ship’s crew in keeping with his last request – that his feet never again touch dry land. His coffin, which is an historical attraction in the town of Perryman, Maryland, was suspended from anchor chains, making Monk a true “swinging sailor”!

"Pineapple Jam" is Quint's debut CD and the one that put them on the map in the Parrothead community. It's 'trop rock', but stylistically a bit different from the norm - an infectiously palatable roux of rock, reggae, calypso, and Latin styles. Just real tropical rock and roll. Spreading the 'Jam' has been good enough to help Quint sell a few thousand copies, fantastic for an independent release!

IT'S A FACT
The original "Pineapple Jam" is completely sold out and out of print. But never one to leave a good thing alone, the Captain went back to the studio to re-mix and re-master the tracks. Voila - "Pineapple Jam v2"! It contains all the original pineapple goodness while upping the juice factor with better sound quality. Yum!
