He really sounds inspired and energetic. I like this interview very much. Not sure about my first imaginations of River Towns though, I would have made it some sort of Geordie/5.15 am - kind of song, or Single-Handed Sailor a-like.. now it seems more like another Planet of New Orleans which would be great. The only song I really hate on Privateering is Blood and Water, so I hope River Towns sounds not too much like that one.
It is really tough to wait now. The story about the opening song sounds really interesting!
And you need a very good memory to remember ad hoc when a certain song was released and which charts positions etc.. :-)
