When the first Atlantic Standards disc was released in 2006, it quickly became the top seller in the region, praised by local fans and tourists. That's why there’s now a Volume 2. The first disc just scratched the surface. There are more true standards here, songs that are known and loved across the land. The Rankins' brilliant, haunting, "Fare Thee Well Love", has an awesome power to uplift the soul. There's the sweet simplicity of "Song For the Mira", recorded by many and featured here by Anne Murray. "Farewell To Nova Scotia", found here by McGinty, might as well be the national anthem in any given pub on any Friday night. Volume 2 pays more attention to the instrumental prowess of the region. Cape Breton's J.P. Cormier has conquered every stringed instrument, and is widely regarded as the fastest hand in the land. The Fables, The Barra MacNeils, Slainte Mhath, Rawlins Cross, and The Irish Descendants reel and roll with the intricate interplay of seasoned kitchen party players. And don't forget 1755 - so popular in New Brunswick in the late 70's they became known as The Acadian Beatles.
