'Papa Was a Fishing Man' are feasts for the eyes and ears! This 4 CD box-set album
of really sweet tunes called "Papa Was a Fishing Man," by the
World's Greatest Fishing Band.
Gary Shiebler, the lead vocalist and songwriter for most of the tunes,
has a heartful voice that sometimes reminds me of Kenny Rogers and, man,
has this got album got a wide range of musical styles for Shiebler to
showcase his talent. The music is as good as it is diverse. There are 50,
yes 50, country, Cajun, traditional, rock, blues, calypso and ballad songs
all about fishing.
Discs 1 and 2 are composed of freshwater songs, most about bass and
bluegills, with muskies, walleyes and steelhead thrown in. Close your eyes
and listen to homage to monster bass like "Big Boss Bass," and
you will feel yourself out on the water tossing a hula popper among the
lily pads.
Disc 3 is saltwater-themed, with a Jimmy Buffet feel and laid-back
excursions into Baja and the Caribbean. And disc 4 is aimed right at a
flyfisherman's heart. Too bad Robert Redford didn't have this music to
score "A River Runs Through It."
"Papa Was a Fishing Man" is a chock-full of catchy, soulful
tunes that will set your toes tapping and put a smile on your face. Each
song captures the feel of the local fishing spirit as the album's direction
travels across the U.S. United With "tight lines and good times,"
along the way, you meet some pretty fishy characters, including "Wahoo
Willie," "Sheephead Sam" and "Musky Man," and
learn why and how "Papa Was a Fishing Man."
