• Voice of Ages by The Chieftains.
• The Secret of the Water Sound by Four Shillings Short.
• Go On Now, You Can't Stay Here by The Wandering
• Stonewall Country by Robin and Linda Williams

Honorable mention goes to:

• I Will Wait for You by Allison Altherr
• A Soalin' by the Derry Aires
• Now I Walk in Beauty by Janice March-Prelesniki
