Skyjacks: Call of the Sky

This is the first volume of the soundtrack for the Campaign: Skyjacks podcast. It was written, composed, and predominantly performed by Arne Parrott.  Each song was developed to create a soundtrack for our show and a folk music tradition for Spéir. Every song featured here is something folks sing and play in dockside bars, with friends around a campfire, and on the decks of skyships. We sincerely hope you enjoy these sky shanties. There are no kings, take flight!
