Turlough Lyr Req: Suitable shanties for female singers (43) RE: Lyr Req: Suitable shanties for female singers 13 Oct 04


"it's just things like Kate Rusby making a twee love song out of a shanty that annoys me"

Hm, I know it's not fashionable to think positively of Rusby nowadays, but I have to say that I really like what she has done with "The Wild Goose". I like the process of transformation and adaptation in folk music. I think that's what keeps it alive... Not that I ALWAYS like all the transformations and adaptation, mind you!
