Turn it up
These guys are incredible. One listen and you will be hooked. See them live and you won't be able to turn it off. Imagine 5000 people singing Newfie folks songs at the top of their lungs and just grooving. Life is good north of the border

Rant and Roar
Great Big Sea
Rhino / Wea, 1998
"Got The Sun And The Sky, All The Water Surrounds Me!"
Come in, take off your hat and coat and grab a seat near the fire. Order a pint of 'screech' and relax, the music is about to begin. Welcome to Newfoundland!
'Rant And Roar' is a fun, rollicking CD by the Great Big Sea, four native Newfoundlanders who draw their ...

Great Big Dvd & CD (W/Dvd)
Great Big Sea
Zoe Records, 2004
A lot of bang for your buck!
Great Big Sea is one of those bands that seems to give more than they get. This DVD/cd package is an example of that.
If you haven't seen this band live (and I was fortunate enough to do so) then this will have to do for you. If you have seen this band live, than ...

"Play" this!
I can't give kudos enough to Great Big Sea, which is probably the best blend of contemporary and traditional music out there. They're a band from Newfoundland who blend the traditional instruments and drinking songs with incredibly catchy music. Their music tends to ...

Courage & Patience & Grit - Great Big Sea In Concert [CD/DVD Combo]
Great Big Sea
Zoe Records, 2006
Awesome!!!
These guys are incredible! They are the best kept secret that Canada has ever had (except for maybe Hockey Night In Canada and Poutine). I worked and lived in Toronto for a couple years and one night I was flipping channels and came across GBS performing live on a CBC ...

Great Big Sea
Wea Int'l, 1997
Like a Dog Wrapped Round Your Leg (But in a good way)
Buy this CD. Play it often. Learn all the words to "Mari-Mac" (I dare you). And go see the greatest band in the world in concert. There is no way you will be disappointed. From start to finish, this set is a winner. "Run Runaway" starts the ball rolling and it doesn't ...

Something Beautiful
Great Big Sea
Zoe Records, 2004
Beautiful but different
Having nearly worn out "Rant and Roar", I was really looking forward to this one. It didn't impress me at first blush but has slowly worked it's way into my short list of favorites. If you want Rant and Roar, play it. When you are ready to see what else these guys do ...

Great Big Sea
Zoe Records, 2002
GREAT BAND, GREAT CD!
I really enjoyed this album as well as all of GBS albums. My kids get a kick out of listening to the cd. With all of the new music and pop singers out there, it is nice to have a band out there that plays the "good old stuff" with a new twist. Having worked with the ...

Great cd by a great band
This is a great album from the guys. The new songs blended in really well in the live set on the current tour. A+++ Also recommended, download the GBS cover of "Gallow's Pole."

The Hard & The Easy
Great Big Sea
Zoe Records, 2005
Brilliant
Brilliant. It is back to the form shown in their early CDs and encapsulated in the "Road Rage Live" album. The track "The Mermaid" is wonderful. The accompanying DVD is excellent. As you can see I am a fan after seeing them live in Glasgow in 2001 with Runrig.

Incredible! As always.
I was hardly disappointed with the quality of these songs! I have only recently become an enormous fan of Great Big Sea, but that doesn't keep me from absolutely adoring this album. Boston and St. John's, a special favorite, grabs your heart and doesn't let it go ...

Great Big Sea keeps "Goin' Up"!!
It will be no "Ordinary Day" when you pop this CD into your stereo. This by far is the best "greatest hit" compilations of all time... not only is it composed of GBS's fan favorites, but they are performed live! Seriously, what could be better?? If you don't already ...

Rounder / Umgd, 2000
Rev it Up, Eh?
I have a problem with GBS. They are best enjoyed live. If you see them live (and you should), you will notice that no one at a GBS concert remains on their feet for long. I thought this might not be true south of the border here, but in jolly old Ann Arbor this ...

Fun, enjoyable update of old Celtic trad...
These Canadian fellas offer an earnest, bouncy mix of upbeat, slightly dorky, soft rock and Celtic-by-way-of-Newfoundland trad, sort of like the Pogues but without all the drunkenness and scary dental work. And, y'know what? It's not bad! There's sort of a ...
