Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest probably doesn't need much outside promotion to make it one of the summer's biggest movies, but its star is taking an extra step to get people into a swashbuckling frame of mind.

Johnny Depp is the executive producer of an album of sea shanties recorded by an impressive group of artists that's expected to arrive in stores via Epitaph Records sometime around the movie's July 7 premiere.
