Moe, if you're looking for just a few for starters, I'd recommend Stan hugill, "A Salty Fore Topman." If you don't know of him, he was an authentic chanteyman aboard sailing ships in the 1920's, 30's, and became an author and collector, and in later years a sea festival and concert performer. He was the real deal. Anythjng by him is worth having, but this CD is a good starting point. The Chantey cabin carries it, and, if you're in the U.S., try Dick greenhaus at CAMSCO.

For the revivalists, the aforementioned Louis Killen, Johnny Collins, and Holdstock & Macleod are great. Can't go wrong with any of their stuff. I'd add Mystic Seaport Forebitter, "American Sea Chanteys" as a solid, chanteys on the sleeve recording. There's LOTS of great stuff out there, but I'm just listing these as a few core holdings.

Thanks Joe and sixtieschick! That's amazing company to be listed with.
