The Visit

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: Loreena McKennitt

Release Date November 14, 2006
I became a L.M. fan years ago. The first time I heard her haunting voice I was instantly hooked. This wasn't the first CD I bought of hers, but it has to be my very favorite. I never grow tired of it and while I listen, her calming voice and soothing music take me to a far off place...a relaxing place that is nowadays, so rare. She has the ability to lift my spirits instantly. I love all of Loreena's music and I will be a fan of hers for life.

Raining Up

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: Mairead Nesbitt, Celtic Woman

Release Date January 10, 2006
It's almost too bad this is only a CD due to if you have watched the DVDs of Celtic Woman you can not only listen to her great performance but see how she absolutely enjoys creating the great music. The lucky thing is that you can hear this infectous music again and again.

Awkward Annie

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: Kate Rusby

Release Date April 15, 2008
I'm familiar with some of Kate Rusby's earlier music because she gets airplay, from time to time, on BBC radio folk music programmes - but this is her only album that I have. 'Awkward Annie' seems to follow an established pattern - a seamless mix of self-penned original songs and traditional songs from the British Isles.

THE VOCALS : KR's voice is difficult to describe (but I'll try). If you took away the American accent and country twang from Dolly Parton's vocals, and replaced it with a decidedly Yorkshire-English accent, you'd get something which comes close to KR's vocal style (listen to how she pronounces words like 'come', 'money', or 'love'). Depending upon the song, her vocals oscillate between dainty delicacy and haunting poignancy. ... Read More:

If I Should Fall from Grace with God

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: The Pogues

Release Date September 19, 2006
I played Fairytale of New York when I was breaking up with Dona 20 years ago; it made the "it's not you, it's me" sound plausible. The Pogues never were this good again, and I did like Hells Ditch and some of their other stuff, but this is their best. Every song is good. A couple were in the movie Straight to Hell, which was a lost classic. Angsty, sweaty and sweet. A classic.

I adore all of DKM's efforts including this one, however, Blackout is their zenith. One of the best albums ever produced IMO.

Spirit Of The Glen

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

Release Date February 12, 2008
Four many people, the common belief about bagpipe music is that the repertoire of bagpipers was somewhat limited to a few well known tunes, particularly "Amazing Grace," "Highland Cathedral," and of course "Scotland the Brave." It's also believed that bagpipe music is best in moderation, and appropriate for a parade and a great touch for a funeral. If you have the same preconceived notions about bagpipes, SPIRIT OF THE GLEN will quickly change your mind.

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards are joined by a variety of other musicians and present a pleasing collection of music. The collection contains standards such as "Amazing Grace" and "Highland Cathedral," as are other Celtic favorites, but the collection also includes arrangements of film scores and some popular ...

Rum Sodomy & the Lash

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: The Pogues

Release Date September 19, 2006
What can be said about the Pogues? One of the greatest song writing bands in history. Shane is a genius and somewhat of a drinker I hear. I think I'll get a beer...

The Light of Other Days

CD-Charts > Music > Celtic
by: Celtic Thunder

Release Date January 05, 1993
before you buy be aware this is not the same Celtic Thunder as the 2008 group. Their CD and DVD is delightful. This 1988group, while interesting is rather old fashioned and amateurish sounding. It has that sound of The Early Elvis Recordings. You may like it and it is Irish music.Just a caution so you (unlike me ) know what you are buying

This film will have you getting out of your chair and dancing along.
