Synopsis

Album Description

While The Rankin Family may have spurred the interest in Celtic music in Canada, Great Big Sea were the ones to really take the style and run with it, bringing it to a younger audience that previously regarded it as a style more suitable for fishermen and grandparents. This self-titled debut is the most traditional of the group's albums, both earnest and upbeat. Warner Music Canada. 1993.

CD Reviews

Excellent music!

Amanda Leinbaugh | 03/13/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is quite different from their newer stuff - less pop-like - but it's great. Relaxing seafaring music for the true GBS fan!"

A NEW OUTLET

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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 HAVEN'T BEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT A BAND AND IT'S SOUND SINCE THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO THE CHIEFTANS 19 YEARS AGO. I'M READY TO GO TO SEA WHENEVER THESE BOY'S WANT TO GO!"

Best Great Big Sea

"I got to know Great Big Sea while working in Geulph Ontario Canada and working with a girl from Newfoundland. This is a great album, with much richness in words and music. 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."
