One CD springs to mind "The Sound of Mull - Gaelic Folk Songs (2003)." The
Sound of Mull was a Tobermory trio - Janet Tandy, Joanie Mackenzie and David
Williamson - and on the CD they have some "Mull" songs :

Leanabh an àigh (Child in a manger) - composed by Mary MacDonald, born in
1789 near Bunessan
Chi mi Muile (I see Mull)
Eilean mo Chrìdh' Muile Ghràdhach (Joy of my heart, Isle of Mull)
An t-Eilean Muileach (The Isle of Mull)
Sòraidh leis an àit' (Farewell to the place)

I'm sure there are many more
