Lucky Leif and the Longships is a 1975 record album by Robert Calvert, produced by Brian Eno.
It is a concept album dealing with how American culture might have been different had the Vikings managed to colonise the continent. The album is a tour through various styles of American music ("The Lay of the Surfers" is a Beach Boys parody), filled with references to modern American culture and ancient Norse myths and legends. The album was re-released in the late 1990s by BGO Records.
All songs by Robert Calvert; arranged by Robert Calvert and Paul Rudolph
