This week, Great Lake Swimmers released “Ballad of a Fisherman’s Wife” for Swim Drink Fish Music Club. The charity was developed by Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, and other Waterkeeper organizations in Canada. Here’s how they describe their mission: “The Swim Drink Fish Music Club brings together artists, activists, and citizens just like you who care about clean water. By celebrating the Club’s exclusive and rare music, you are contributing to the fight for swimmable, drinkable, fishable water in your community.”
As for the Great Lake Swimmers track, here’s a bit about that:
“”Ballad Of A Fisherman’s Wife” was written after hearing, with great dismay, news about the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Most striking and heart-felt to me were the sentiments of outrage from those who made their living in and along these waters, especially the fishermen, and especially their wives. I wanted to comment on this ongoing crisis from that very specific viewpoint.”
You can head over to the site to hear the track, and you can sign up for only $10. While you’re there, check out more Great Lake Swimmers, and browse around a bit. I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like!
