Mari Mac - Great Big Sea

Another great Canadian band, Great Big Sea hails from the East Coast, and is still touring to this day. This song was one of their earlier singles, and was relatively unliked, failing to even chart. However, it has always been far and above my favorite song they have as it's got a great flow and the speedy vocal delivery is incredible to listen to. The fiddle really showcases that East Coast feel and makes this song really make you want to dance to it. Great Big Sea was known for doing a lot of covers and traditional music, especially at the start of their career, but this is not only one of the eight original songs off the album, it is one of the two that was collaberated on by the entire band; perhaps that's why it kicks so much ass?
