Australian group The Roaring Forties have a CD of sea shanties and forebitters called Life Of Brine. My candidate for best album name ever.

Won't go so far as to claim best ever, but it did get my attention: New World Records "Don't Give the Name a Bad Place".

Not Folk I guess but I always liked Eric Burton Declares War and Johnny Rivers Realization. When it comes to Folk Music, there are to many to mention.

When Adam McNaughtan took two albums he made in the early 70s, 'Words, Words, Words' and 'The Glasgow I Used to Know' and made them into one CD, decades later, he titled it "The Words I Used to Know."

I've always been fond of Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica," just because it's so weird. Props go also to Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, and David Frieberg's "Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun."

I've always liked a skiffle record entitled "Songs about trains, women, alcohol and death".

By the way, I did try to change the Subject from "Best CD name ever" to "Best album name ever," it just didn't work. Vinyl suggestions are welcome.
