My favorite SR album

"This was the fourth (or fifth?) Stan Rogers album I got, but it's my favorite by far. Three Fishers (with Garnet's haunting fiddle) and Scarborough Settler's Lament (which reminded me of the longings of an English friend) are especially wonderful."

Probably worth having, but not as good as others

"This is a good, but not great, Stan Rogers CD. There are some really compelling songs, like Cape St. Mary which, while a bit slow, is heart-rending at the end . There are some catchy songs, like Badger Drive and Two-Bit Cayuse. But there are some rather tedious songs too. All in all, it is worth having if you like Stan Rogers music, but it probably won't be as much a favorite as say, 'Home in Halifax' or 'From Fresh Water'."

You Can't Go Wrong With Stan Rogers

"Stan Rogers' music is a wonderful find for anyone who enjoys traditional folk. His music is lovely to listen to, acoustic & thoughtful and lots of sea ballads. You can't go wrong with any of his albums. On this album I especially enjoy Cape St. Mary's, Three Fishers, and Cliffs of Baccalieu. His voice is deep and resonant and any of his albums make a lovely listen. Stan was a treasure among Canadian folk singers and the world is the less for his absence since his untimely death."
