Songs of the sea and shanties


Any recommendations for songs of the sea or shanties sung the traditional way, but recorded not too long ago so that the sound quality is good.

Thanks. BTW my son and wife think I must be nuts to listen to such "strange" or "awful" music. (their words, not mine)

How about Roger McGuinn's "Cardiff Rose" or Tom Waits' "Singapore"? "Singapore" may not exactly qualify as a shanty, but it is an enteratining nautically themed song.
