'...the book stands as an important collection of lesser-known Newfoundland songs. Reading it gives a glimpse of the incredibly rich song traditions that are so much a part of the Newfoundland folkways. There is a sense, in this book, of a growing energy and enthusiasm about the old song traditions. To an outsider, the importance of these traditions appeared to be waning in the face of the onslaught of the media and the introduction of mainland musical forms such as country music. Come and I Will Sing You is a clear indication that the small and dedicated corpus of revivalists in the province are hay-ing a positive effect. From this dedication we now have access to a fine collection of great songs.'- T.B. Rogers (Canadian Journal of Traditional Music)
