mmmusic!
I have been peripherally aware of Great Big Sea for a while now, but for whatever reasons I hadn't listened to them a whole lot until just before we left for our cruise.
Imagine my surprise & delight when I came home to find that two CDs had come in the mail while we were gone! Rant And Roar, which is a great upbeat singable & danceable album & Fortunes Favour, which shows a more lyrical & thoughtful side of the band. Thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thax!
They are also totally cute guys and make awesome videos, too! Check it out:
When I'm Up (I can't get down)--a great 'start the day' song.
Mari-Mac--a great take on a traditional song I've heard a million times at renfaire by a million bands :)
End of the world--the best cover I've heard lately!
{edit} PS: they have also played on the Ships & Dip cruises. Now THAT sounds like a good time. (yes, "My name is E, and I'm a cruise-aholic.")
