More folk!

Addicted to a new type of music filter: Recently heard Josh Turner's song "The longer the waiting (the sweeter the kiss)" and I want to find more like it. Any suggestions?

Would you be able to clarify what it is about this song you are looking for more of (ie. bluegrass/country genre, traditional lyrics, baritone voice, harmonic vocals, etc.)?

I like the lyrics & the Scottish (?) folk style.

The melody reminds me of the whaling song Farewell to Tarwathie. Here it is done by Judy Collins.

Also reminded me for some reason of Kate Rusby - Fare Thee Well
