5.0 out of 5 stars Saint Stan, March 1, 2000

By 

Greg Harnish - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fogarty's Cove (Audio CD)

It has been ten years since I picked up my first copy of Fogerty's Cove, and I still get the shivers when I hear "Fisherman's Wharf" - no other song has ever managed to capture the distain/nostalgia many maritimers have for our past quite like Stan's hymn. If that was the only song on the album, it would still be worth the price! But throw in "Watching the Apples Grow", "Athen's Queen", and "Forty-Five Years" (one of the sweetest songs ever written) and you have a record no one should be without. Note to first time listeners: Before "Barrett's" comes on - take one glass whiskey, one glass beer, and mix thoroughly in stomach. Fetch another glass of beer, bang repeatedly on table, and sing lyrics at the top of your voice. Rewind and Repeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, Stan, December 24, 2000

Well now that was a time, eh? We saw Stan perform many times between 1976 (Philly Folk Festival) and 1981 (PFF again) and each time was pure delight. I bought my copy of Fogarty's Cove from Stan himself and still consider it a treasured possession and a masterpiece; each song is brilliant in both lyrics and execution. His other albums are all classics but there was something uncluttered and pure with his first. You live with Stan's songs; from Rawdon Hills and Make and Break Harbour to Lies, White Squall and the Lockkeeper. The narratives are fascinating, the arrangements (with brother Garrett's great contributions) where right on target and, of course, that voice could either make you cry, laugh, or raise a ship from the bottom. Thanks Stan.

5.0 out of 5 stars East Coast music that appeals to everyone..., March 11, 2000

My husband is a Haligonian, and Stan Rogers is a true icon in Canada. His music exemplifies the lives many East Coast Canadians live(d), yet is immediately accessable to anyone, even us Americans! <g> His voice is beautiful, his songwriting abilities are staggering, and his love songs to his wife make me cry. What a pity we lost him... Buy this, Norwest Passage, or Home in Halifax if you're looking for quality folk music with an East Coast flavour.
