No one had or has a great rich baritone like that of Stan Rogers. My favorite is Barrett’s Privateers, of course, being an American. ---

I’m tired of **Barrett’s Privateers**. It’s a real “singalong”, and songs like that kind of grate on me after a while. Give me [The Flowers Of Bermuda](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVUei-0WYC4), [Witch Of The Westmoreland](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxls60aYSZA), or [The Mary Ellen Carter](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT-aEcPgkuA) any day (can you tell which album is my favourite? :)). ---

I had a few of his albums on “shuffle all discs” at one point and various versions of **Barrett’s Privateers** kept coming up! I like it but not again and again in the same session. 🙂 I love your other picks too. ---
