Johnny Depp Releasing Pirate-Curated Compliation: Listen To Tom Waits’ Song “Shenandoah”

Johnny Depp (A Nightmare On Elm St., Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd) has teamed up with Gore Verbinski (The Ring) to executively produce Son Of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, And Chanteys, a pirate-themed compilation album that features such musical talents as Iggy Pop, Macy Gray, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, and many more.

Below, you can hear the Tom Waits/Keith Richards song “Shenandoah”. Producer Hal Willner notes, “Each time I have managed to maneuver Waits and Richards into a studio over the last 25 years or so, it always results in one for the history books. With ‘Shenandoah’ they collaborate and there is no word in the English language to describe it…as good as music gets.

The two-disc compilation album will be released Feb. 19th via Anti-Records. READ MORE
