5.0 out of 5 stars "Sailors' is fresh and hearty, February 3, 2001

This review is from: The Lost Lake Sailors (Audio CD)

Lee Murdock's 'Lost Lakes Sailors is his tenth and quite possibly best recording of Great Lakes music and lore. The songs are fresh and hearty, with exuberance blending incredibly well with first class muscianship and vocals. The production is solid and the song selection superb. Lee is not only a masterful songwriter but he also has a rare talent for finding songs that fit his robust singing style. The songs come to life in a startling way. One can feel cold spray splashing the face and smell warm tar under a hot sun as a Great Lakes schooner slices through blue waters. Lee's tribute to the sailors who have been lost on the Great Lakes or who continue to ply their trade on its unforgiving waters is a must for any maritime music lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Lakes Treasure That Must Be Heard!, February 19, 2003

Lee Murdock is the True Balladeer of the Great Lakes. In the tradition of Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Mr. Murdock takes the tales of the Great Lakes several steps further. Having the honor of hearing him perform live, his CD's bring that live quality right into your home or car. His music can bring you to tears in a heartbeat, and in a few verses have you smile as the story unfolds as smooth as a pond on a lazy afternoon. The best part of it all is so many of the ballads he writes are based on fact. I now have four of his CD's and every one is a treasure of the Great Lakes.
