Another Time: the Songs of Newfoundland

(Traditional; Contemporary)

Another Time: the Songs of Newfoundland is a concept album, designed to feature traditional songs from Newfoundland, re-done by contemporary artists. Although they represent some of Newfoundland's leading musicians, there's a slightly artificial feeling about the result. Some vital spark is missing.
