The Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell is the eponymous 1964 album by The Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell.
Musical style
The most vigorous song on this album is "Greenland Fisheries" with Ronnie Browne shouting "There She Blows" at the start of the song, at the top of his voice. "Jock O' Braidislee" is sung unaccompanied by Ronnie Browne. Paddie Bell sings "Lord Gregory" with only her banjo for accompaniment. The album begins with four songs associated with the game of two balls and a wall.
