I think Bruce Guthro is such an incredibly strong and soulful intelligent singer, he can pull it off! Of course all the rest are the absolute best of the best in trad as well.
I've seen so many cringe-worthy attempts to cover this Stan Rogers classic that I rarely even bother clicking on covers anymore. But this one is inspired, passionate, and genuine. Singers from three of the greatest Maritime Cultures--Canada, Denmark, and Scotland--all coming together, proves to have the strength and depth that this song requires. Bravo, gentlemen. Bravo, indeed...
1775Dreamer Check out The Water Boys cover then when you get the chance. It brought tears to my eyes. Also the Unleash The Archers cover of it is amazing as well.
THANK YOU! I was trying to find/remember a song I'd heard several years ago. Your mention of Great Big Sea here triggered my memory and got me to England (by Great Big Sea). And I was here because just today I found/discovered Northwest Passage... I've listened to probably 15 versions this evening (OK, it's like 1AM here now, but that's what youtube and great music will do to you). Stan Rodgers' version of course, and and so many others. I read "The Man Who Ate His Boots" last year (about Franklin's expedition), and now this song... wow.
@@Retired-Don A lot of people call this Canada's unofficial National Anthem. Unleash the Archers has an incredible rock version of this song. If you haven't heard that one you got to check it out.

Oysterband are English?
I hope you don't consider the Unleash the Archers version cringe-worthy. I absolutely love there heavy rock version.
It is incredible to hear a song that is so close to Canadian history being sung in Denmark along with people from Scotland. Thank you for posting this
Scottish and Canadian history go very much hand in hand
Not heard this song before, love it, ALL Bruce' songs' GET, Me, ❤❤❤ i wish God could have spared him, xxxx😢❤❤😂
Stan Rogers wrote this one, but Bruce sure sings it beautifully. ♥
I love Great Big Sea and Runrig so much. Stan Rogers also. What a joy to hear this.
