Liner Notes (WICN demo)
“Haul Away Joe” is track 1 on WICN demo, recorded 26 March 2014 at my home in Urbana, Ill.[1] It was my first attempt at multi-track recording, and I think it came out OK. I took more time with it than with the other two tracks on the EP.
This is a single-pull chantey, according to Hugill, though he also says, “I am inclined to think that at some time or other it was used as a halyard song.”[2] It has always seemed to me that the verse is very long for a single-pull chantey, and I have used it as a double-pull chantey with no problems. Hugill’s reasoning is simply the number of recorded verses, and says that a tacks-and-sheets chantey would only have a few. I don’t think that’s solid evidence, since different singers would have different sets of verses, and a single singer might want to vary the verses from time to time. However, Smith also gives it as a single-pull,[3] as does Colcord,[4] so who knows?
