5.0 out of 5 stars Halifax Review, July 24, 2000

Having seen Stan Rogers perform live in the late 70's and early 80's this disc gives you the feel of a Stan Rogers concert...like the Grateful Dead, the live shows upstage studio recordings. The power of both the lyrics and the music will make you laugh, cry or search for the deeper meaning of........ Stan's music will live well beyond the norm...the quality of the recording is great, as so is the crowd. This disc is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best there is, September 15, 2006

If I was to have only one CD to go through the rest of life with, this one may be sufficient. This and 'From Fresh Water' are truly the best there is. This CD has the very best versions of many Stan Rogers songs, especially Mary Ellen Carter, Field Behind the Plow, Make or Break Harbour, 45 Years, and Lies - its hard to be satisfied with earlier insipid versions of these songs once hearing these heart-felt live versions. I have all his CDs, and have gleaned other favorite songs from each one, but this is the one CD that I can listen to start to finish, and love them all, just as they are. Listen for the seagulls crying in 'Bluenose', listen for the incredible drive and urgency of the final verse of 'Mary Ellen Carter', and from this farmer - listen to 'Field Behind the Plow' and know that it is true. If only . . . if only there had been more CD's from Stan Rogers like this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Stan Rogers, July 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Home in Halifax (Audio CD)

I fell in love with Stan Roger's music during my Ph.D. field work in Newfoundland, Canada. Stan's songs evoke periods and places with extraordinary poignance and power. "Home in Halifax" has all the essentials, including "Field behind the plow," "Make and break harbour," and the rousing "Barrett's privateers," in an energetic performance. While "Home in Halifax" is not a substitute for a complete collection, it's the best place to start.
