This review is from: The Very Best of Stan Rogers (Audio CD)
I regret that I never got to see Stan Rogers when he was alive. Indeed, I never heard of him until after he had died.I first heard "Matry Ellen Carter" at a time when my family had experienced a great personal loss, and the memory of that song was a great comfort for a long time. "Last Watch," "Make and Break Harbor," and "Lies," talk to those of us who feel time working on us. But It's not just for us old guys; I gave it to my daughter--raised on folk music--and she loves it.
This compliation contains some of the most powerful and moving songs I have ever heard. If you can sit through listening to "The Very Best of Stan Rogers" and not feel his words deep inside you, go to the ER; you're probably dead and forgot to lie down. Very Best of Stan Rogers.

Almost the Best of Stan Rogers, Aug 4 2011
By D.B.K. "dbkinstc" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Very Best of Stan Rogers (Audio CD)
From my perspective, the only way to get the best of Stan Rogers is to start with his first album and keep buying until you own them all. There are many gems that you won't hear on this single CD.But if you're not that familiar with Stan's music and want to get an idea of what you've missed, this CD has a great selection. If I were to put together a list of my favorite Stan Rogers songs, it would look very similar to the track listing for this CD. You can't go wrong here.
And after you've fallen in love with the songs on this CD and want to know where to go next, start with his live stuff: "Between the Breaks" and "Home in Halifax". Both give you a feel for how much fun he was in person.
I was fortunate to have seen Stan in concert in a small venue three times before his untimely death. Since then, his brother, friend, and band mate Garnet has entered into a solo career. After you've listened to all of Stan's music and want something more, pick up some of Garnet's CD's - especially the early ones.
These are two of my favorite songwriters, singers, musicians - ever.

Reminiscing the Canadian Troubadour, May 23 2012

It's been many years since Canada lost one of its greatest sons. But his songs live on and his legacy continues to provide inspiration to those willing to listen. If you are looking for authentic folk music as it was meant to be performed then take a listen to tracks such as Barretts Privateers, Northwest Passage or, my favorite, Forty-Five years.
Listmania!
