Review

Great Big Sea's CD Turn includes their now standard mix of uptempo versions of traditional Newfoundland folk songs and folky, pop-inspired original compositions. The band has also stayed true to its successful formula of backing its strong harmony vocals with furiously strummed acoustic guitars augmented by traditional Celtic instruments like fiddle, bouzouki, and tin whistle. But this is more than just a rehash of what has worked before. The band's songwriting continues to get better, and original tunes like "Consequence Free," a heartfelt plea for freedom; "Boston and St. John's," a touching sailor's song of farewell; and "Feel It Turn," which features a refreshingly optimistic view of the world, exhibit a depth of feeling that the group only hinted at on its earlier efforts. Even though Great Big Sea have revealed their sensitive side, it doesn't mean they've gone soft. Traditional selections like the boozy "I'm a Rover" and the saucy riddle song "Captain Wedderburn" prove they haven't completely lost touch with their inner party animals. Turn should keep Great Big Sea's legions of fans happy, while simultaneously attracting new listeners. --Michael Simmons
