The time: The early 50's. The band: The Treniers. The song: POOOOON TAAAAANG.
I almost don't want to say anything else about this song. I just want you to shake your head with a grin on your face. Also: orgasm saxophone. You'll know the bit I'm talking about. Have the Sexiest of Saturdays!
Jerry Bryant is a folk music performer/archivist with a particular interest in maritime songs. He's released a number of traditional folk albums, and is particularly well known for his song 'The Ballad of Harbo Samuelsen' which has been covered by numerous performers.
In 2004 he released an album under the pseudonym Salty Dick titled 'Salty Dick's Uncensored Sailor Songs.' For the album Bryant pulled together the bawdiest, rudest and sex havin-est sailor songs he could find and laid them down with aplomb and gravitas.
So enjoy the rolling sea worthy harmonies of the 'Banks of the Sacramento,' a song that espouses valuable life lessons about STDs, whores and wiping your ass with grass. Ah those noble seafaring men.
