I like many of the others, but Ed Miller still gets my vote.

yeah, Jed... but if you DON'T vote for Ed, you have to face him down thar in Texas..*wink*

I like most of the choices that I see listed....I just like Scots songs, but I still don't like 'best' lists...when the question is phrased differently, I may name names...

Heather Heywood - an intensely involving singer who is also a lovely person. This alone should put her well up any "list"

Well, I have to say I was very impressed by Janet Russell who proves you don't have to be old to sing ballads.

I'd agree with the choices of Moira Craig and Ellen Mitchell, but I really need to have three votes, because Sylvia Barnes (a Scot now living in England) is simply stunning. Anyone else heard her?

I also agree with the choices of Moira Craig (but I would be accused of bias), Ellen Mitchell and I would add Ray Fisher but my vote would have to go to because Sylvia Barnes (a Scot who was living in England now returned to Scotland). Her singing at the Sussex singers weekend the other year was indeed stunning (she even made moira cry)

If we're really talking traditional ballads I'd like to change my mind, too - Jean Redpath hasn't got a mention yet!

It says something about "the depth of the well" when so many different names are suggested.
