Not the answer you're looking for, but Great Big Sea's Rant and Roar is something of a Newfoundland version of Spanish Ladies.

In addition to the versions in your link, there's a version of Spanish Ladies on Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (Sea Shanty Edition, Vol. 2).

There's also an odd version of Spanish Ladies by Bill Frisell on an odd album of somewhat modern interpretations of Sea Shanties called Rogue's Gallery.

|name|Julie Fowlis|
|about artist|Mark Radcliffe hailed her voice and songs as “enchanting, beguiling and as fascinating as songs by Kate Bush and Björk” and KT Tunstall described her voice as "formidable and amazingly rhythmic". The elfin figure they are describing is Julie Fowlis, a talented singer and instrumentalist from Scotland. She is the BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year 2008 and in a few short years has taken the music scene by storm... ([more on last.fm](http://www.last.fm/music/Julie Fowlis))|

Found the album to purchase on amazon.co.uk but no download :/

Wooden Flute Obsession is my first recommendation. It will give you 2 CDs of a wide range of styles. Enough to get you exposed to so many artists.

One of my favorites is Kevin Crawford he's worth a listen to.

Yes they are. If you like them you'd also like The Men They Couldn't Hang, particularly their song The Colours (but most of their stuff is good).

And if you're into that whole Celtic Rock/Celtic Punk thing I have to recommend the Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, and my favorite Flogging Molly (I saw them perform Drunken Lullabies on the Tonight Show shortly after the album's release and immediately the next morning went and picked it up and Swagger. I stopped lending the albums out because I never got them back from people--I think I've purchased each of those two at least three times.

Flogging Molly was one of the best concerts I ever attended. I think it was back in 2003 when I saw them perform at a smallish club which maybe had 750 people in it. I went with myself and two friends, one of whom was a giant of a man (6'4, probably 300+lbs). It was rather amusing being down in the pit (always wear steel toed boots if you're going to be upfront at a concert), and the rest of us bouncing around like mad in the mosh pit, while he had a space around him of a foot on either side.

It was funny, because we were standing there in the pit and nobody was showing any excitement. I remember turning to my one friend (not the 6'4" monster) and saying "this crowd looks dead" and him agreeing. Then Flogging Molly came out, hit the opening note and the club practically exploded.

Is this them?

u/DrewJamesMacIntosh · 1 pointr/bagpipes

It’s also on track 2 of Scantily Plaid’s album Just Checking In https://www.amazon.com/Just-Checking-Scantily-Plaid/dp/B003DVZMEC

i've had the newest box set on heavy rotation today. "Just look them straight in the eye and say Pogue Mahon!" is so very good.

Not as powerful without seeing everyone do various duties on the ship.

However, still awesome minimizing the tab. :3
For anyone interested, try this album: Rogue's Gallery I have had it for years and love the crap out of it.

Not saying you gotta get it from amazon, and not saying you CAN'T get it like... well like a pirate! (See what I did there?) but get it nonetheless.

I Know a lot of songs are off by 100 years or so, But they have a "Oh Britainnia" Feel.

I absolutely love my 2 disc Jackson C. Frank "Blues Run the Game" set. It's 42 tracks, every recording he ever did. Many of the songs are short, and very, very poor quality but the soul contained in each one just takes my breath away and breaks my heart. His voice is so hauntingly beautiful and he just lays every ounce of himself out in his words. Knowing a little bit of his very tragic background brings an even deeper element to his music.

I wish so badly he got the chance to become more recognized and appreciated... If you like folk/blues or just want to appreciate some honest music, give him a listen. I think you can find a couple of his songs on YouTube. I first heard of him during this scene in Daft Punk's Electroma... literally brought me to tears: http://youtu.be/_DxBx4FyTqY

Aug 22,2007 There is some stuff around that same time period, but this is the oldest :)

As you may have guessed, Swagger is less than 10 bucks on Amazon

The man in the moon drinks claret, as they say.
