Turn

by: Great Big Sea

Release Date March 07, 2000
This is a band I have newly discovered and boy am I glad I did. If you like witty folk music with an irish/scottish twist, then they are for you. The tongue in check songs make me smile while I am driving to work.

A very nice CD!

Faith and Courage

by: Sinéad O'Connor

Release Date June 13, 2000
wow, what's amazing album!!! I bet that she expressed her music talent for all of us. I do like the song "Kyrie Eleison" on this album. That's one of the songs that possibly could make me crying. Besides that, Emma's Song is another my favorite song of Sinead's.

The Best of the Original Dubliners

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: The Dubliners

Release Date August 11, 2003
This collection is remarkable for the range of songs it makes available. In fact, once you get past some of the Dubliner's top hits, the music is great. I'm disappointed in their performance of a few standards, such as Whiskey in the Jar, Seven Drunken Nights, and Nancy Whiskey. The performances are not nuanced, they serve too much as drinking songs and do not dig down into the soul of the music. And the compliation repeats titles in "live versions" that add nothing to their depth. The biggest exception to this pattern, however, is the rendition of Black Velvet Band. However! There's a lot of other great music here. The instrumentals are fine, if not inspired. And many of the lesser known titles are great additions to anyone's collection of Irish music. So I'd recommend ... Read More:

Fire & Grace

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: Alasdair Fraser, Natalie Haas

Release Date April 20, 2004
For many of my Celtic music selections I have specific places where they play the best -- fitness center cardio workouts, crank-it-up singing in the car, hopping around the living room dancing, meditative slide into sleep. But this CD has become my soundtrack to joyful, graceful living. It goes with beer, but it's better with wine and chocolate. It can calm anxiety. It can give you energy. It will make you smile. It makes you want to bob your head around and enjoy sunshine on your face. Who would have thought that the cello could be so hot? And that cello and fiddle could be so well matched as in Fraser and Haas?

Little Lights

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: Kate Rusby

Release Date June 12, 2001
I liked quite a few of Kate's songs such as "Playing of Ball","Withered and Die","Some Tyrant",and especially "Who Will Sing Me Lullabies".
Her other CD, Hourglass was better but this one is still worth listening to.

Beautiful Vision

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: Van Morrison

Release Date October 25, 1990
This belongs in the category of Van's great Celtic Soul albums like Astral Weeks, Common One and Veedon Fleece. Van expresses his Northern Irish roots in titles like "Northern Muse" and "Cleaning Windows". The latter song is as down-home and funny as Van has ever allowed himself to get since the out-takes from the Bang sessions. The closing improv where he raps in a broad Belfast accent about finding a "tanner and a three D bit" on the windowsill and having to "go down the dole" are classic stuff. In the same song, Van fills in his early musical and mystical history. "I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon on the street where I was born" "I went home and read my Christmas Humphries book on Zen". "Celtic Ray" is a beautiful evocation of life in Ireland, "When the coal brick man comes around, ... Read More:
