Music Legends Make Pirate Record

20 Dec 2012

Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Tom Waits and Sean Lennon are just a few crew members recruited by Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski for a new pirate album, Son of Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys. This album is the sequel to Rogue's Gallery, which was inspired by Depp's role in Pirates of the Caribbean and released in 2006.

'This one seems happier. Not as much about torture, sodomy and death, which will disappoint some, but we don't need to repeat ourselves do we?' - Producer Hal Willner.

Son of Rogue's Gallery will be released by Tom Wait's record label, Anti, on 19th February 2013. You can click here to hear 'Leaving Of Liverpool', performed by Depp and The Pogues' Shane MacGowan.
