Thread Name: The best sea songs on disk
Subject: RE: The best sea songs on disk
You'll probably also really like 'Blow the Man Down' as well. Many of the same artists, also all done in the traditional style. I believe Dick said he had it at Camsco.

Hadn't heard Lewis had won the Hugill award - more power to him! It's a ticky-tacky point, but still a point though - he's a modern 'shantyman', and most of the discussion seemed to revolve around the regular traditional stuff. Then again, the original series discussed also has a fair amount of original material - I have the two English language discs, and the first has a few songs from Rudy Sunde... I think I'm confused now and need to lie down...
