1	40 Days (2004) more music like this by The Wailin' Jennys Canadian folkies the Wailin' Jennys aren't opposed to throwing down the occasional sea shanty or English drinking song. Multi-talented singer/songwriters Ruth Moody, Nicky Mehta, and Cara Luft -- the latter left the group soon after the album's release and was replaced by Annabelle Chvostek -- formed the group in 2002 after sharing the stage as ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
2	Below the Salt (1972) more music like this by Steeleye Span The most successful of all Steeleye Span lineups, with Bob Johnson and Rick Kemp in place of Martin Carthy and Ashley Hutchings, makes its debut on what could be their best album. There's not a weak note here, and all of its has a harder, more muscular sound courtesy of Kemp and Johnson, matched to impeccable vocals and uniformly excellent ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
3	Have a Holly Jolly Christmas (1965) more music like this by Burl Ives Have a Holly Jolly Christmas is a compilation of holiday songs performed by Burl Ives. The award-winning actor performed the definitive version of the title track, thus forever cementing his place in the genre. The other songs here (many of which have also gotten quite a lot of radio play) are all standards for the most part, and are all sung in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.95!
4	Sea Shanties (1961) more music like this by The Men of the Robert Shaw Chorale A renewal of popular interest in sea shanties coincided with the commercial folk craze. Country, folk, and pop artist from Jimmie Driftwood to the Norman Luboff Choir recorded entire albums of seafaring songs, and in 1961 the Men of the Robert Shaw Chorale did the same. Because Shaw's chorus was primarily a classical music ensemble, its ... see all copies from $7.45! new only from $7.45!
5	Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1995) more music like this by Burl Ives The Rankin/Bass animagic film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer first appeared on December 6, 1964. Since then, it has become the longest-running of all holiday TV specials (with, we hope, no end in sight). It's fitting that the grandfather of all Christmas specials features Burl Ives, still remembered warmly by millions as the voice behind the film ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.37!
6	Pirates of the Caribbean: Swashbuckling Sea Songs (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Not to be confused with Anti's excellent POTC movie tie-in Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys, Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Swashbuckling Sea Songs collects 14 seafaring singalongs that aim their cannons at the children who have spent time on the legendary theme park ride. The goofy renditions of classic sea shanties like ... see all copies from $8.56! new only from $8.56!
7	Burl Ives Sings (1995) more music like this by Burl Ives see all copies from $5.36! new only from $99.95!
8	Best of Steeleye Span [EMI] (1992) more music like this by Steeleye Span see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
9	Please to See the King (1971) more music like this by Steeleye Span The debut of Steeleye Span (Mark II), with Peter Knight on fiddle and Martin Carthy on guitar, is more solid in almost every area from repertory to production. The group still had its feet in both modern and traditional sounds simultaneously, so Please to See the King mixes very beautiful, distinctly archaic sounding songs such as "Boys of Bedlam" ... see all copies from $12.33! new only from $16.21!
10	Parcel of Rogues (1973) more music like this by Steeleye Span Parcel of Rogues is the group's first real rock album, featuring a sound clearly rooted in modern sensibilities, with the guitars turned up very loud for the first time. The singing is still modeled on traditional patterns, and is quite beautiful (especially "One Misty Moisty Morning" and "Allison Gross"), but the resonances and undertones of ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.98!
11 view cover	Return of the Wayfaring Stranger (1960) more music like this by Burl Ives This follow-up to The Wayfaring Stranger is, if anything, livelier and more bracing than its predecessor, released five years earlier. In contrast to The Wayfaring Stranger, which was aimed at younger folk listeners (especially children) and purists, Return of the Wayfaring Stranger came out in the midst of the folk revival; in that regard, it ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $12.15!
12 view cover	Whaling and Sailing Songs from the Days of Moby Dick (196?) more music like this by Paul Clayton Paul Clayton's first commercial album, and a classic of its genre. The unifying element for these 20 songs was Herman Melville -- in the wake of his entertaining at the premiere of the 1956 John Huston movie, Clayton was asked to cut an album of sea songs that would have been known in Melville's time, the 1840s, and the result was these 20, a ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $17.79!
13 view cover	Christmas Album [Columbia/Legacy] (1995) more music like this by Burl Ives Burl Ives' Christmas Album may not be Burl Ives' definitive Christmas album, but it's quite strong nevertheless, thanks to warm, friendly performances of "Happy Birthday, Jesus," "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "Jingle Bells," "O Holy Night," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and "Silent Night," as well as the charming children's tune "Santa Mouse. ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $5.40!
14 view cover	The Wayfaring Stranger [Jasmine] (2005) more music like this by Burl Ives This collection gathers over 100 Burl Ives recordings on four discs, featuring multiple versions of his signature tune, "Wayfaring Stranger," which was a smoothing out of an 1830s religious folk tune, and several turns on his 1947 hit with the Andrews Sisters, "Blue Tail Fly," including studio, live, and radio takes. Nothing here is startling or ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $10.00!
15 view cover	Sea Music (2004) more music like this by Dan Zanes & Festival Five Folk Former Del Fuegos frontman Dan Zanes continues his homespun children's folk series with a set of shanties and other nautical delights on the appropriately titled Sea Music. In the grand tradition of briny stalwarts like Ewan MacColl, Paul Clayton, and A.L. Lloyd, Zanes keeps things simple, employing a small folk ensemble and chorus that allow the ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
16	Burl Ives (1949) more music like this by Burl Ives see all copies from $1.99!
17 view cover	Singing the Fishing (1966) more music like this by Ewan MacColl With Charles Parker & Peggy Seeger In part a documentary on the change and decline of the fishing industry, in part an exploration of folk song and traditions, Singing the Fishing is one of the best of the radio ballads that Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger, and Charles Parker developed. Thanks in part to the fine singing of Yarmouth native Sam Larner, who began working on fishing boats ... see all copies from $14.75!
18 view cover	Coal Mining Women (1997) more music like this by Various Artists A little over half of the songs here originally appeared on They'll Never Keep Us Down (Rounder). The disc is well populated with moving unionist coal mining protest songs of renowned folk artist Helen Dickens. Her bright, strong and singular delivery makes a good foundation for this record. Also present is the all-female Reel World String Band. ... see all copies from $14.83! new only from $14.83!
19 view cover	Stephen Foster Songbook (1993) more music like this by Stephen Foster see all copies from $2.50! new only from $11.06!
20 view cover	Best of Burl Ives: 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by Burl Ives This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 1999 collection The Very Best of Burl Ives Christmas. That album, in turn, was drawn from several previous Ives albums, the 1952 set Christmas Day in the Morning, Christmas Eve (1956), Have a Holly ... see all copies from $2.07! new only from $10.64!
21 view cover	Lavender Blue: Songs of Charm, Humour & Sincerity (2000) more music like this by Burl Ives Lavender Blue: Songs of Charm, Humour & Sincerity features folk singer and actor Burl Ives on 25 songs recorded for Decca in the '50s and '60s. Among the tracks are such traditional folk songs as "Frankie and Johnny," "I'm Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad" and "Sweet Betsy from Pike," with modern originals "Mr. Froggie Went A-Courtin'," "Riders in ... see all copies from $11.17! new only from $11.17!

24 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Burl Ives (2001) more music like this by Burl Ives MCA/Decca's full-priced 18-track Burl Ives collection Greatest Hits, released in 1996, was still in print when the label issued this 12-track budget set five years later, so it's worth comparing the two. The less-expensive album actually contains a couple of big hits -- Ives' Top 40 pop/Top Ten country cover of Hank Thompson's "Wild Side of Life" ... see all copies from $5.39! new only from $5.39!
25 view cover	American Folksongs for Children (1996) more music like this by Peggy and Mike Seeger The nearly 100 songs collected on this two-disc set aren't necessarily for children (some of them, like the dark "When the Train Comes Along," have death as a theme, and others, like "What Did You Have for Supper," are floating snippets from large and tragic British ballads), and siblings Peggy and Mike Seeger certainly don't sing them the way Mr. ... see all copies from $22.74! new only from $22.74!
