Songs Drifting From a Shantyboat – a Playlist

A Soundtrack for the River

Music drifts across the water on warm summer evenings, mingling with the lapping of waves and the hum of distant voices. These songs echo the slow rhythms of river life—familiar tunes carried along the current, playing from a shantyboat radio or a dockside porch.

This playlist is a collection of songs tied to the experience of traveling America’s rivers—country ballads, folk songs, blues, and tunes that feel like they belong to the water. Some are classics that might have played on an old transistor radio aboard a houseboat. Others just capture the feeling of drifting, of storytelling, of time moving like the current.

Listen in. Let the river carry you.
