	Great Big Sea, Sea of No Cares
		Naomi de Bruyn wrote a fine career retrospective on Great Big Sea with lots of great details on their music and career up to the release of their 4th album, Turn.
		Great Big Sea are Alan Doyle (vocals, guitar, bouzouki), Bob Hallett (vocals, fiddles, tenor banjo, accordion, bouzouki, mandolin, high and low whistles), Séan McCann (vocals, guitar, bodhran, shakers) and Darrell Power (vocals, bass, bones, mandola).
		As for their original material, "Sea of No Cares" straddles narrative and the world of feelings as it describes a man falling in love and leaving his friends "getting cynically stoned" at the bar.

	CMT.com : Great Big Sea : Biography
		The sea shanty tradition of Newfoundland is fused with the spirit and energy of contemporary rock and popular music by Great Big Sea.
		The inspiration for Great Big Sea was sparked during informal, kitchen-party jam sessions in the Newfoundland fishing village of Petty Harbor.
		Releasing their first United States-distributed album, Rant and Rave, a compilation of tunes from their previous album, in 1998, Great Big Sea spent many months touring the U.S. The following year, the band released their fifth album, Turn, produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and Tragically Hip fame.

		Great Big Sea, The Hard and The Easy is the eighth release from Great Big Sea, the St. John's-based, Juno-nominated band that fuses Newfoundland traditional music with modern pop in a crowd-pleasing formula both heartfelt and vital.
		But Great Big Sea firmly believes that Kit survives, and their version of the song is a celebration, not a dirge.
		The album's title even comes from the lyrics, which are equal parts melancholy, heroic, and sweet, like all the Newfoundland music Great Big Sea loves so much.

		Picture a scene in 1995 (when Great Big Sea were first breaking onto the scene).
		Some Newfoundlad band named Great Big Sea were opening for the talented Bentall, and the only people that bothered to show up were students from Cornerbrook, Conception Bay and St.John's who were amazed that their any band from their home province would get a gig off "the rock".
		This time the main act were Blue Rodeo, another great Canadian band, but the scene couldn't be different from Great Big Sea's first trip to the school, only months earlier.

	Ink 19 :: Great Big Sea
		I was introduced to Newfoundland's Great Big Sea about a year ago by a friend who specializes in promoting Canadian bands.
		The Great Big Sea have two albums that both went platinum in Canada, and are currently promoting a USA-only collection of their Canadian hits called Rant and Roar.
		Great Big Sea are special in that they, as not so much a rock and roll band as a "traditional" band, have firmly set themselves a place in the world music scene.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Great Big Sea
		Zoe's re-release of Canadian folk/Celt/rock outfit Great Big Sea (hereafter known as GBS) comes hard on the heels of successful CD releases and tours, and completes GBS's catalog's release in America.
		Originally recorded in 1993, Great Big Sea is where GBS was finding their identities and voices.
		In the long run, Great Big Sea would become one of the greatest Celtic bands of all time, and even this early in their career there are flashes of greatness.

	Review - Great Big Sea: Great Big Sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		This is a reissue of the Newfoundland based group's 1993 debut album, and the roots of the sound that's led to seven more releases which have sold millions of copies in Canada and around the world are in fine and full evidence.
		Mixing original material with the Celtic traditions of their home province, along with popular selections from Canadian songwriters, Great Big Sea have worked from a rich folk heritage, but have never been content to be mired in it.
		From their inception, they've applied their strong harmonies and great instrumental facility to forging something new from old materials, proving themselves to be something more than fine musicians - they're talented and dedicated artisans, and this release is a great way to either begin or complete a collection of their recorded work.

		I could blame Great Big Sea's transition in style on the fact that their original line-up is no longer intact.

	Great Big Sea: The Hard and the Easy Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine - Find Articles
		When GBS released its first album in 1993, it was dubbed the heir apparent to Figgy Duff, cranking out high-energy folk songs from land and sea.
		This album is a collection of Celtic-flavored and salt-sprayed traditional songs that are so deeply ingrained in Newfoundland musical lore that they were sung by Alan Doyle, Bob Hallett and Sean McCann when they were children.
		Although billed as a Great Big Sea album, The Hard and the Easy is actually a trio album and is much more sedate and folky than recent GBS offerings.

		I can't give kudos enough to Great Big Sea, which is probably the best blend of contemporary and traditional music out there.
		This is a great CD and the only other CD that is this good is their previous CD.

	FAME Review: Great Big Sea - The Hard and the Easy
		The Hard and the Easy is their ninth album and is a fine contribution to their legacy.
		The album is probably unique in that it has two songs about horses falling through ice on barely frozen lakes while pulling logs to the lumberjack camps.
		The band is shown rehearsing songs from the album on a back porch and in the living room, interspersed with introductions by individual band members about the history of the songs.

		After almost thirteen years together, Great Big Sea is releasing a new kind of album, one that spans the spectrum of the Newfoundland songbook.
		When preparing their latest album, according to interviews at the time, they had so much material they decided to split the album in two - one dedicated more to the new music (which, I guess, became the album "Something Beautiful") and one dedicated to all folk songs.
		While I like Great Big Sea's original material (at least, some of it!), I usually prefer the traditional stuff, so I was thrilled to have a whole album of it.

		A Platinum-selling act in their Canadian homeland, Great Big Sea has mined that country's proud Scots/Irish Celtic heritage in a decidedly modern context.
		Something Beautiful seems to describe the album perfectly -- not everything is beautiful, but a song or two is worthy of a spot on the inevitable greatest hits album that Great Big Sea will no doubt one day produce.
		For anyone who loves Great Big Sea, it was quite the disappointment when Darrell Power left the band (for obviously very worthy reasons).

	Beat Radio - The Great Big Sea - Pop Musicology
		It seems reactionary to bracket the album in such a way, but it truly is one for the thinking Shins fan — all the heartbreak you could need outside of a Teenage Fanclub album, but presented in a slightly spangly guise with jittery shimmer to spare.
		With a steadily increasing reputation as an indie-pop mini-sensation in the wings, Beat Radio is sure to light up a great deal more lonely nights in the near future.
		A talent with unnerving freshness and complex emotional clout is unleashed on 'The Great Big Sea', an album that will hopefully register as the first of what those-in-the-know call a body of work.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Great Big Sea: Great Big Sea are hip to Celtic lingo
		Of note, the "donkey" in the shanty "Donkey Ride" on Great Big Sea's forthcoming album, Play, isn't a four-legged long-eared ass, but a winch for hoisting a sail or dropping an anchor.
		On the heels of its platinum-selling Up album, Play -- which hits the streets May 20, followed by the lead single "When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down)" a week later -- includes a few original songs and two covers, but the majority of selections, as usual, are traditional.
		All dyed in the wool Newfoundlanders, Hallett, guitarist Alan Doyle, bodhran player Sean McCann and bassist Darrell Power are rich in knowledge about their heritage and gladly give history lessons to foreigners (that includes mainland Canadians), explaining the origins of the traditional songs, the stories behind them, and the meanings of the dialect.

		Road Rage was a disappointment and the Great Big DVD & CD was OK, but more interesting for the promo videos than for the concert.
		Great Big Sea is one of those hybrid bands that defy pigeon-holing.
		Their original music such as Sea of No Cares from the album of the same name harkens to and brings to life the ancestral roots of the region from which the band hails; while great songs like Yarmouth Town are Great Big Sea’s rendition of old favourites.

		The only complaint I have with this album is the slightly uneven quality of the songs.
		About the best I can do is to compare Great Big Sea to other artists--another difficulty, since they aren't easily comparable.

	Interview with Great Big Sea
		Having released five studio albums that have now sold close to one million copies in Canada, the four members who make up Newfoundland's Great Big Sea say the past few years have been an incredible roller coaster ride.
		We need a view so we ended up in an old paint factory that had a great view and an upholstery place which had a view and my house which has a view.
		On this particular album we never usually we'd try the songs on audiences and see how it goes so we'd know if they would be successful cause they would be road tested but this time we didn't road test any of these songs.

		Great Big Sea's latest release, Rant & Roar, may disappoint long-time fans because it's merely a compilation of tracks from Up and Play.
		But don't despair: the album, the single "When I'm Up" and recent tours south of the border have earned the band some much-needed exposure in the United States, where hopefully they'll take their place among the most popular
		Rant & Roar isn't a greatest hits album (which would, I think, be just a bit premature at this point); it's a repackaging for mass release in the States, where Great Big Sea is only now catching on.
