"MINING THE SOUL is an emotionally uplifting marriage of two of Canada’s most unique and distinctive artists, a celebration of home, heritage and song – a celebration of all.

From Cape Breton Island comes the magic of two internationally acclaimed performers; multi-award winning singer-songwriter Rita MacNeil and The Men of the Deeps, North America’s only coal miners’ chorus for a heart-felt performance of MINING THE SOUL. Far beneath the surface of the earth, some say, the heart and soul of Cape Breton beats. A Tumultuous industry has given character to this part of the country, character that is reflected in its people and their music. The island speaks of working class values, strong friendships, unfailing courage and unwavering faith. These emotions have found their voice in MINING THE SOUL."

The Best of Rita McNeil; Mining the Soul

Mary Milene | Ajo, AZ USA | 01/17/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"My husband had mentioned that he had seen Rita McNeil on TV several years ago and really liked her singing style and the lyrics to her music. For his next birthday gift, I began searching for a CD of her music--to no avail. Then I thought of ..., and there was Rita. I ordered The Best of Rita McNeil. He was delighted with his rediscovery of Rita and I am astounded every time I hear her. What a depth of emotion is wrapped up in her voice! We enjoy just sitting and listening in the evening to songs that inspire, delight, and sometimes bring us to tears. We now have the Mining the Soul CD and several of the Sounds of Nova Scotia. Can't get enough of a good thing!"

Great voice , reminiscent of Kate Smith

"What a wonderful CD. We already have 2 of hers and have just ordered 2 more. Would love to see her in concert. I was pleasantly surprised at the voices some of these coal miners had. WONDERFUL!!! I would be curious to know if the coal miners have done any recordings on their own."
