Give the guy a break: Doyle's had a 20-year career with Canadian folk rockers Great Big Sea and he's recently launched his second solo album, So Let's Go. He spoke with Music Times about the inspiration behind the title, how he met Crowe under the most Canadian of circumstances and how, if he'd had his way, he'd be shredding in a hair metal band and not singing Newfoundland sea shanties (with no offense meant to sea shanties). -
