Various - Maritimes Newfoundland
Review by Rachel Bloomberg
Maritimes Newfoundland is a compilation album featuring various artists from the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland. The album is a tribute to the rich musical heritage of the Maritimes and showcases a diverse range of genres such as traditional folk, country, and blues.
The album opens with the upbeat and lively "The Irish Rover" by The Fables, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "The Islander" by Ashley MacIsaac, a hauntingly beautiful instrumental piece on the fiddle, and "The Night Pat Murphy Died" by Great Big Sea, a rollicking tune that is sure to get listeners tapping their feet.
One of the highlights of the album is the inclusion of several traditional songs such as "Feller from Fortune" and "Lukey's Boat," which are performed with authenticity and reverence by the artists. The album also features original compositions such as "The Cape Breton Fiddle Medley" by Natalie MacMaster, which showcases her virtuosity on the fiddle.
