Great Site For Folk Music

If you're a fan of traditional folk music, here's a good site to check out: Folk Music of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and America. You can search for folk music by country (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, U.S., and a few from Canada and Australia). A few Canadian ones include "Canadian Boat Song," "Farewell to Nova Scotia," "Polly Vaughn," and "Settler's Lament." You can also search them by category, such as love songs, songs of war, songs of the sea, children's songs, and "wastrels, rascals, criminals, outlaws and violence." There's also a link to the Child ballads (e.g. "Barbara Allen," "The Death of Queen Jane," "The Two Magicians"). The site provides lyrics, a history of the song, links to background info on each song (e.g. links to a site on shape-shifting on the page for "The Two Magicians"), and audio files (music only, no vocals).
