THIS DELUXE VERSION'S BONUS CD IS MADE UP OF 11 TRACKS OF BAP'S PERSONAL FAVOURITES FROM HIS CAREER WITH TRACKS WITH STEVE EARLE, SHANE McGOWAN, A CO-WRITE WITH VAN MORRISON AND SONGS THAT HAVE APPEARED IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIES. IT INCLUDES 2 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS. "The best singer songwriter I ever saw" (Steve Earle). High praise indeed from Earle who then sought to play and record with the ex Energy Orchard main man. Bap Kennedy returns with a Mark Knopfler produced album that features songwriting that grows stronger with every listen. Knopfler adds his distinctive guitar alongside other luminaries such as Jerry Douglas, Michael McGoldrick and John McCusker on a more folky sounding record. The Sailor's Revenge features Kennedy's most mature and sophisticated songwriting to date. 'Kennedy distills his love of Hank Williams and Van Morrison, his self-preserving humour, and his endearingly stoic bar-room philosophies into stunningly beautiful songs.' - Mojo
