That's the genre that came up when I put 'the Dirty Three' onto my HD.
(The Dirty Three are a 3 piece without a singer. Just violin, guitar and (jazz)drumming).
Anyone know of any other bands that come under this genre?
Also, anyone know of any other 'speicialized genres' like that one?
I won't categorize the whole band's collection, but from the songs that caught
my ear it sounds like they were partly influenced by old country Irish and
Welsh/English ballads. They slowed them down plenty, but the original old school
progressions are still there.
Quoted from Wiki.
"The Dirty Three's sound is distinctive, composed of folk melody, rock energy,
elements of classical, chamber music, jazz and blues, Celtic, and other European
folk styles - a diverse collection of influences, though the style of music the trio
play is uniquely their own, born from years of musical experience."

When they played outside the wind was knocking over the cymbols and mike stands quicker than the lone roadie could pick them up, meanwhile Kim Salmon (of the Scientists and Kim Salmon and the Surrealists), who was doing some vocals , was climbing a lighting rig with the mike in his mouth. All through this the Dirty 3 didn't skip a beat . even the drummer who always happened to find something to hit when his highhat wasn't there.lol

Well I want to call my music something like that. Who wants to be lumped in with "punk" ? 😛😀😀
But maritime music is very real, in a geographical sense though.

And everyone knows this song, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
That's way over-played. I want to hear an old England country song written about the Titanic.
