"My Father Was A Sailor" is a collection of nautical-themed songs inspired by Glenn D'Cruze's late father's life at sea with the British Merchant Navy. Its highlights include a choir throughout, a horn section featuring JP Carter (Destroyer) & narratives by Stuart David (Belle & Sebastian, Looper).

Though some of these sea-themed songs were written before Glenn’s father William D’Cruze recently passed away, they took on new meaning after he died which inspired additional songs about the sea, his life and the afterlife – and the transition between the two.
