Rowdy Soul
The Rusty Tubs’ Debut Album
Rowdy Soul is the debut album from The Rusty Tubs, the South West’s rowdiest sea shanty crew. Blending traditional maritime songs with foot-stomping harmonies and a pint-in-hand attitude, Rowdy Soul captures the raw, joyful energy that’s made The Rusty Tubs a festival favourite from Falmouth, to Harwich, and beyond!
The album takes its name from Rowdy Soul, a rough-edged American folk song that captures the spirit of what The Rusty Tubs are all about: bold voices and good humour.
We’ve kept the grit and swagger of the original, adding our own verse of pub-born bravado to make it truly ours. You can read the full lyrics to Rowdy Soul here, and explore other favourites from the album like Dead Horse Shanty and Strike the Bell!
