Yet another excellent selection of music with some of the best harmonies from Canada.
CD Reviews
Don't think, just close your eyes and listen
John L. Edwards | 11/30/1998
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The previous reviewers are working to hard at it -- this is a down home family making music the way they like it. I was travelling in Cape Breton when North Country was released, and it undoubtedly catches the mood and the feel of the place. The locals know them on a first name basis. These are your neighbors playing at the local festival, not some Kelto-country-pop synthesis-conspiracy carefully packaged for the masses. So grab a mug, sit down, relax, and listen. Oh, and push the repeat button so you won't have to get up."
SOMEbody had to recognize the 5 stars this album deserves!

"I probably listen to "Endless Seasons" more than just about any other album I own. Feeling depressed? Listen to "Feel the Same Way Too" and I guarantee it's going to be gone. Want to hear majesty in music? You won't beat "Boat's Lost at Sea". Like harmony in group singing? The Rankins can't be beat. I was not as happy with "North Country", but "Endless Seasons" is a jewel."
Terrific mix of styles

"The Rankins are a great all-round talented family. This album shows off their many talents to perfection. A cool mix of traditional celtic, and Rankin penned songs. Track #4, which comprises two songs, is sung in Gaelic. They are traditional Gaelic songs composed in Cape Breton and Nova Scotia respectively. For anyone who likes a mix of traditional with modern, pop and country, then you will love this album."
