Road Rage I was also lucky enough to catch them live at The Bowery Ballroom in March 2002. I bought this CD after owning Rant and Roar and Road Rage. This Cd captures their young energy mixed of course with their roots in tradition. This band draws the audience in with give and take singing. Everybody at the show, is in the show. They make everybody there wish they were from New Foundland!.
A wave of sound you've got to hear!
It's amazing to listen to- especially if you know their newer stuff. Their first album, but one of their best! It really shows you the raw talent that these guys began with, and all the musicality that they've developed. If you ever get a chance to see them in concert- GO!!! They are great. If you don't know anything about their music- it's a bit of Irish and Nautical mixed together. Lots of energy, upbeat songs, ballads, and tradition folk tunes. Go for it!.
A NEW OUTLET
I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT A BAND AND IT'S SOUND SINCE THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO THE CHIEFTANS 19 YEARS AGO. THIS IS JUST A VERY SHORT REVIEW FROM BRIAN BORU TRAPPED IN A 45 YEAR OLD NEW ENGLANDER'S BODY WHO KNOWS IN ANOTHER LIFE HE LISTENED & SANG THE SAME MUSIC THESE BOYS ARE PLAYING. I'M READY TO GO TO SEA WHENEVER THESE BOY'S WANT TO GO!.
Best Great Big Sea
This is a great album, with much richness in words and music. I got to know Great Big Sea while working in Geulph Ontario Canada and working with a girl from Newfoundland. Traditional and yet modern in a good way. It reminds me of Canada and those times. You will enjoy it. It is simple and beautiful. Untouched by the "states" complexities.
Excellent music!
Relaxing seafaring music for the true GBS fan!. This album is quite different from their newer stuff - less pop-like - but it's great.
