Great Big Sea albums are sometimes more rock than folk, but they’re always deeply Celtic. With Hawksley Workman at the production helm, you might think the Newfoundland boys would trade tradition for experimental—even glam-rock—flavors. Not so. Workman, clearly under the island’s spell, sticks with sea shanties, including Sean McCann’s exquisite “England,” and some poppier Celtic material. The exception is the hard-rocking “Oh Yeah,” with Alan Doyle channeling his inner Eddie Vedder. Reviews
