Hm. Earlier in the year, I made a two-CD mix of chanteys, ballads, and sea-songs for some friends of mine, mostly composed of the traditional artists mentioned above with some others like Waterson : Carthy, Spiers & Boden, and Great Big Sea for variety. If you're interested, I could send you copies. Think of it as a sampler . . .

For traditional stuff? The Starboard List's Songs of the Tall Ships / Cruising 'Round Yarmouth, The Young Tradition's Chicken on a Raft, and pretty much anything by Gordon Bok or Stan Rogers; North Wind's Clearing and Home in Halifax are favorites of mine. I am much less up to date on modern stuff, although the Pogues' "Turkish Song of the Damned" and Sting's "Valparaiso" have been taking turns.
