Thread Name: Peter Bellamy recordings?
Subject: RE: Peter Bellamy recordings?
"The Alabama" is one of a set of three shanties (along with "Won't You Go My Way?" and "A Hundred Years Ago" sung by Peter and Louis Killen on Peter's 1972 album "Won't You Go My Way?", recorded live in Norwich, and put out by Argo, part of Decca (ZFB 37). (I got it, I got it)

Contains two Bellamy compositions ("Testimonial" and "Above the Hill"), one tin whistle solo, Cyril Tawney's "Monday Morning", and a number of trad songs including "Butter & Cheese & All", "Spencer the Rover" and "Yarmouth Town". All great stuff.
