Tracklist

When I was first asked to write a little something for the Whitehorse Band, I thought it would be easy. But, now that the time has come, I find myself wondering where to start. I guess the best place to start is at the beginning.

About two years ago, I received a tape of several songs that some one thought would be good for our Sunday morning Jigs and Reels show. I listened to the tape and told the person who had send the tape in the truth, the songs were great, but the recording quality was too bad to put on the air.

Not to let a little thing like that stop them, these four gentleman promptly ran out to the studio and re-taped every last song, and, within two weeks, had a new tape, much better quality, ready to hit the airwaves.

As a test of their music, I played a song called Newfie Boogie the following Sunday. The response was unbelievable. The requests for that song, and, it seemed, any and all others this band performed, poured in, each and every week.

In the months that followed, the boys released first, a single, then an album. The requests still poured in, and, it seemed as though people just couldnt get enough of their music.
Whether its an old favourite that you havent heard in years, or something the boys cooked up themselves, a toe tapper or a waltz, what you hear is the Whitehorse Band, one of Newfoundlands best and most popular bands in recent years, delivering, in fine style, the type of music that has made Newfoundland music a favourite, both and home abroad.

With this, their second album, they have once again put together more great songs, each and every one bound to be a favourite. I say that without even hearing the album as this is written, because I know what Whitehorse will do: they will play good music. Its in their blood.

Now, take this record and listen to it, and Ill tell you just one thing; Im looking forward to hearing it as much as you are.
-John Wiles (Host JIGS & REELS OZ FM)

Theres no denying that the boys of the Whitehorse Band are good ol Newfoundland boys through and through. Just listen to their music and youll immediately acknowledge their love of Newfoundland and its culture, especially that which is embedded in the music and stories of Newfoundland.

Their first album, Dangerous Waters, is a musical delight, and now, the Whitehorse Band has gone and done it to us again with their brand-spankin’ new album, The Ship That Never Returned.

You will enjoy the refreshing sounds of this talented Whitehorse Band.

The Whitehorse Band has come to be quite well known and popular on the CHCM Showboat Show. Seven Years I Loved A Sailor, Maid of the Mountain, Mother, Macdonald Name, and Dangerous Waters, have all been highly requested songs, I for one am looking forward to hearing any new studio work they may be doing, ad Im sure CHCM Showboat listeners will enjoy hearing once again, from this very talented group of Nflders.
-Gary Myles (Program Director CHCM-VOCM RADIO NFLD)

The first release, Dangerous Waters, by Whitehorse, was an immediate and tremendous success. This energetic new group have made quite an impact on the Nfld. music scene. To date, Dangerous Waters is among the best selling records and tapes in our store. Their enthusiastic approach to Nfld. and Irish music, assures the success of this, their newest effort.
