About This Song

About "General Taylor" by Steeleye Span

'General Taylor' from 'Ten Man Mop' is a stately, traditional shanty. The title's military figure is a distant commander, and Steeleye Span's harmonies are rich and measured, building a sense of collective purpose. It's a sea song of endurance, the calm before the storm.
