I saw the video to Stuck on a Boat and instantly fell in love with the harmonies of that song. After hearing the rest of the album, the other tracks were just as lovable. I love the diversity you get on this album, from the personal stories like Fisherman's Son to the jamming The Rooftop Song. Only the last song in my opinion is weak but who's complaining when the other 10 songs are fantastic. BTW I woke up today has been used for a Dulux promo ad on Aussie TV. Hopefully this ad makes other Aussies love Port O'Brien as much as I do.

All We Could Do Was Sing is a solid album and is fun to listen to. It has interesting, soulful vocals, beautiful string arrangements, and delightful variations in rhythms and hues. The song, I Woke Up Today, is pumped full of energy, whereas Stuck on a Boat is a mellow ode full of feeling. It's a good mix with alluring nautical tales and stories for everyone to relate to in a salty dog kind of way. The songs easily slips into your mind and you find yourself smiling.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this..., May 20, 2009
