This was the song that got me hooked on Stan Rogers.
After watching this video, Youtube pointed to other song of his so I listened to “The Mary Ellen Carter” and “Barrett’s Privateers”. The links after that led me to discover Jesse Ferguson who has covered a few other Stan Rogers songs as well as a lot of others. He does a lot of traditional folk songs too. He’s got over 200 videos posted to youtube so you can find a bit of everything. He’s got a great voice – he sounds quite a bit like Stan and Garnet.
