Praise for It’s Time for Another One
“This is a great resource for scholars, teachers and students who want to understand the singing and music traditions of the south coast of Newfoundland.”
—MUSICultures
“The field recordings are superb: unaccompanied kitchen and sitting room performances of material that consists mostly of that glory of the Newfoundland singing tradition, locally composed songs about contemporary events.”
—Journal of American Folklore
