Editorial Reviews

Cape Breton By Request : This series of compilations are musical collections aimed at preserving Cape Breton recordings and promoting local singers, songwriters and musicians. These songs are an integral part of the island’s popular culture: some have reached an international audience; others are local favourites. All offer a glimpse, a musical snapshot, of that magical kingdom known as Cape Breton Island.

Many of these recordings are no longer in distribution. Others are hard to find or available only on vinyl lps. Cape Breton By Request brings together many of these musical rarities along with some of the most exciting music being made on the island today.

Cape Breton By Request Volume 2 combines old favourites such as Plain Ole Miner Boy and The Legend Of Kelly’s Mountain with such contemporary classics as Matt Minglewood’s Me and the Boys and J.P. Cormier’s Another Morning. Here, on CD for the first time, are Sam Moon’s Midday Matinee, Miller’s Jug’s Ghost of Bras d’Or and Fred Lavery’s Song For Noel.

This collection also features Doris Mason with Leon Dubinsky’s anthemic One World (a worthy follow-up to Rise Again), Cheticamp’s Ronald Bourgeois with Amène le vent and Howie MacDonald’s classic fiddle treatment of The Skye Boat Song. Other artists include musical legends Rita MacNeil and John Allan Cameron, McGinty, Cyril MacPhee, Maxine MacLeod and Buddy and the Boys.
