Thread Name: Supernatural Ballads....??
Subject: RE: Supernatural Ballads....??
Aside from the songs previously mentioned such as Lost Jimmy Whelan and the Ghostly Sailors, both of which may be found in the Helen Creighton Collection, as well others, (she collected over 15,000 songs with 6,000 different titles), and others you might check out including a cd by Brian Peters of England called, "Sharper Than the Thorn" with such wonderful supernatural songs as; "Lay the Bent to the Bonny Broom" and "Kemp Owyn" and songs by Archie Fisher, "The Witch of the Westmoreland" and he also has written the sequal to that song and asked the Waybacks from San Francisco if they would like to record it. Another song by Dan McKinnon on his last cd "Queen Upon the Water", as well as Lennie Gallant with "Tales of a Phantom Ship". The list seems virtually endless.

Cheers!
