5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite SR album, June 14, 1998

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Go Wrong With Stan Rogers, May 17, 2008

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.

I have been a Stan Rogers fan for almost 20 years and while I enjoy everything he has ever recorded, and miss him terribly, this is not my favorite album by him. However, that said, I think the song "Three Fishers" is one of the most haunting things anyone has ever recorded, and Stan's performance of it (aided by his brother Garret's fine fiddle) is worth of the price of this album. Add it to your list.
