Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A fitting CD.......2004-04-26

With a number by Paul Gross, several wonderfully Celtic songs, a couple of moody numbers, and some fun fast songs, this CD takes the emotions of due South seasons 3&4 and puts them to disk. I loved every song, and couldn't sit still to most of them.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Eclectic Sampler.......2003-10-29

This is a great CD if you like listening to a wide range of music on one CD. If not, it is also a good starting point for finding new CDs. I have CDs of a lot of the contributing artists, and these songs are representative of their music overall.

The first volume is also good. There is a bit lighter tone to it in my opinion. GREAT spectrum of some Canadian music, in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Canadian fare!.......2001-10-02

I am a huge fan of Due South. Even if you're not, though, you need to give this album a listen. There are two tracks on this CD that I don't enjoy..."Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and "Slave to Your Love." That's it. I still cry when I listen to "Holy Tears," because of the emotional last episode. "32 Down on the Robert MacKenzie" is an excellent, catchy song; it belongs with Gordon Lightfoot's "Ballad of Yarmouth Castle" and "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," other excellent Canadian story-songs about shipwrecks. Speaking of Gordon Lightfoot, Sarah McLachlan's remake of his "Song for a Winter's Night" is excellent--how I would love to hear her and Gordon do a duet of this song! "Western End of the Trail" is another great song...I would love to get a Due South Score by Jay Semko. And the "Due South Theme '97" is great, the traditional theme with a soaring electric guitar line.

I highly recommend this album!

5 out of 5 stars It's better than bark tea.......2000-07-31

Fan of Due South ? Buy this. Not a fan of Due South ? What the heck, buy it anyway, it's that good.

1. "Oh, what a feeling" You'll go around with the words "What a Russshhhhhh" in your head for ages. A catchy indie guitar song.

2. "Drunken Sailor" (from the ep. Mountie on the Bounty) Takes the well-known song and puts POWER into it, with a tin whistle floating over the melody. Avast ye scurvy sea-dogs !

3. "Robert MacKenzie" (from the ep. Mountie on the Bounty)

I love the beginning to this one. Starts off calm and serene... then POW, you're hit with a song sung by the Mountie himself all about the sinking of the Robert MacKenzie. You can nearly imagine that you're standing at the helm of the ship, mist weaving itself around you... a great track.

4. "Mind" This one's slightly surreal - a song you can listen to yet not be listening to - if that makes any sense.

5. "Mounty on the Bounty" (from the same-named ep) Music taken from the episode. A fiddle (I think it's a fiddle) leads the tune in a Riverdance-style piece. Very good.

6. "Song for a winter's night" The sea ballads have gone - this is a mellow, quiet song by Sarah McLachlan. It's a really lovely song - one of my favourite's.

7. "Slave to your love" This one's okay. Nothing special. A rhythm/blues type song.

8. "From a million miles" Sounds slightly "Dawson's Creek"ish but it's okay.

9. "Take me out to the ball game" (from Dr. Longball) A laid-back, casual sounding song from Trevor Hurst which is very singable. I like the way pauses in the beat are used. This one's cool.

10. "November" Again, a slighty surreal piece of music interuppted by the occasional singing-without-words. It's a nice, dreamy piece, and unlike MIND (track 4) it's powerful at the same time.

11. "Cubically Contained" (from Mountie and Soul) Another laid-back piece which doesn't really build up to anything. Some guy with a guitar doing a talk/singing thing. Doesn't really make a big impression.

12. "Nobody's Girl" (from Mountie sings the Blues) Whenever I hear this, I think of Fraser doing his "dancing like a stick" impression whilst Michelle Wright was singing this. A boppy, feel-good song - nothing too heavy.

13. "Sophia's Pipes" Sounds kinda similar to Mountie on the Bounty (track 5). Also in a Riverdance style. Good stuff.

14. "Western end of the trail" (from Mountie on the Bounty) How much do I love this piece of piano and guitar music ? Your typical Due South tune - okay, so it's played nearly every episode, but it's still really, really good. I only wish it could go on for longer.

15. "Holy Tears" (from Call of the Wild) This track just blows me away every time i hear it. It's so moving. If you remember, it's played at the end of "Call of the Wild part 2. I guess you're just gonna have to hear this yourself. This track stood out from the very first time I heard the CD.

16. "Due South theme '97" The theme music which features at the beginning of every episode. I bought this CD mainly because of this.

Highlights - basically all of it.

Lowlights - there are a couple of weak tracks on here, but overall it's a very well-put-together album.

2 critisism though - 1. I was expecting the theme tune with words to be on here

2. "Northwest Passage" (The Hand of Franklin song) really really really should have featured on the CD, with it being the last thing you here on the last ever episode.

Thankyou kindly for reading this.
