Clive John, "You always know where you stand with a buzzard"

From the same period, I always liked the title "Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you", although I don't know the album itself.

In which case, The life and transfiguration of Blind Joe Death (John Fahey) springs instantly to mind.

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.

Veteran concertina player, Kitty Hayes' and uillean piper Peter Laban's 'They'll Be Good Yet' taken from an overheard remark by box player Jackie Daly who said it after a magnificent set by the duo at our local session.

I've always liked a skiffle record entitled "Songs about trains, women, alcohol and death".
Just about sums up the repertoire!

(I do like Life of Brine, though, especially since I'm a shanty singer).

The other night at music a band title popped into my head: 'Flailin' and Thrashin'.

Think they'll sell?

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."

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."

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.

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