Americana UK reviews James Kahn’s new LP By the Risin’ of the Sea, takes on global existential crises as its theme
James Kahn, the physician turned novelist/TV and film writer/TV producer turned songwriter, chose to use the genre for an album of songs about COVID and apocalyptic environmental warnings. He is based in Santa Barbara, so naturally, the ocean looms large in his day-to-day life and acts as the thematic glue on ‘By The Risin’ Of The Sea.’ Changes in the oceans are an unresolved problem for environmental prophets of doom. This week the World Meteorological Organization announced that global oceans reached their hottest and most acidic levels ever recorded in 2021. Kahn was also inspired by his colleague David West, who suggested the album.

KW: Why did you choose to have each song on the album be a sea shanty?
JK: I decided to write a whole album of shanties about various contemporary dilemmas, primarily climate dilemmas, but environmental crises in various ways. So there’s a couple songs specifically about climate change, some about habitat loss and species die offs and Covid-19. Shanties were originally written as work songs by the sailors of the 17th and 18th centuries facing stormy seas and the elements and I felt like we’re going, metaphorically, and in some cases, specifically, physically going through the same things. We have our own storms that we’re trying to weather and face, and it seemed like the shanty was a good genre to talk about those things that we’re facing, those elemental crises.
