My recent (disappointing so far) experience with the Heritage Muse Child CDs has started me thinking again (careful there...).

It is such a disappointment that Child collected (mostly) only words when for me the most important thing is the tune to the song (I'm not into diddly (Celtic) or humpty (English) tunes with no words either), that I wonder what other people find the best sources, if not for traditional song tunes, at least for tunes that go well with the old words (for example the Lykewake dirge, or the Joan Baez version of the Great Silkie of Soulskerrie - or even the Dylan version of Fenario which I am slowly putting back to the earlier words of Pretty Peggy of Derby).

Suggestions? I read dots so badly that audio versions would be the bestest.
