Editorial Reviews :
Great Big Sea's canny blend of Celtic melodies, acoustic-guitar-driven rhythms, and thrilling vocal harmonies have made them bestselling artists in their native Canada. On Sea of No Cares, they tweak their signature acoustic sound by adding drums, electric guitar, Hammond organ, and even trumpet. But they never stray far from their roots, and even when they crank up the volume on the raucous folk song 'The Scolding Wife,' the droning electric guitar sounds more like an extra-loud set of bagpipes than a rocker's sonic weapon. Each member of the band contributes to the songwriting, and their output tends to be upbeat in both mood and rhythm, as on the joyous odes to love and friendship 'Stumbling In' and 'One True Way.' As the title song 'Sea of No Cares' implies, the music of Great Big Sea is generally positive and sunny. But the inclusion of the old Celtic seafaring ballads act as a reminder that although the sun is shining today, a storm is never far away.
Buyer Reviews :
Having been a fan of GBS since 'Up' was released and a little disappointed with their last studio release, 'Turn', I was thrilled to find out that I love this album. This CD sounds more like the GBS I came to know and love 6 years ago. Both the traditional and original songs are wonderful. The CD even has a rowdy Irish pub ditty, 'Scolding wife', that is as fun as anything that the Bys have done. Some really amazing tunes that will stay in your head long after you have turned the stereo off. If you were a little let down by 'Turn', 'Sea of No Cares' more than makes up for it.
