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.)?

Response by poster: I like the lyrics & the Scottish (?) folk style.

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

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