"There are many good songs on all of Stan Rogers' albums. There are many good albums, the best being "Fogerty's Cove," "Between the Breaks," "From Fresh Water," and most importantly, this one. Just give a listen to the "Song of the Candle" and you will hear what I mean. I don't care how many times I have heard this song, it always gives me gooseflesh and a lump in my throat. God, could this guy sing. And write! Don't deprive yourself of a truly fine album of songs by a master. Other highlights include the old Archie Fisher tune "Oh No, Not I," "Bluenose," and the title tune. I treasure the day I was first introduced to Stan Rogers and this is a prime reason."

This recording is very mood -provoking, vintage Stan Rogers

"This was my first recording by Stan Roger, after being introduced to him on the CBC. The classic songs like the "Bluenose" and the "Jeannie C" reach out and touch my soul. Some of the songs on the album have a more Country/Western feel and are good, although I like his maritime songs best."

How do you describe Stan Rogers?

"I remember doing a couple of radio shows, and I would play Stan, and his brother Garnet's music all the time. Funny, but I would get calls from the other dj's asking me who this guy was. The funny part is that the people calling were from all walks of life. One guy was a country dj, another had a heavy metal show, another did a spoken word show, and this one dude was all politics and ecclectic music. It didn't matter if they hated folk music, they loved Stan Rogers. It didn't matter if they hated East Coast music, they loved Stan Rogers. This says it all about this man's music, and vision. It transcends everything and hits you square between eyes. You can't describe it, you have to hear it, then you'll feel it, and you won't forget it. Timeless, powerful, and unique, there is only a handful of musicians with this gift. Don't miss out."
