by Catherine L. Tully
1. The Circle - Compilation CD (Bob Brinkman from Modern Bard and Marc Gunn from Renaissance Festival Podcast/Celtic MP3s Music Magazine) A Renaissance Festival compilation CD--benefits hurricane Katrina relief and is spectacular! 22 tracks by various artists. This was such a great CD--it's a must in anyone's collection. 2. An Ancient Muse by Loreena McKennitt Long-awaited, and worth it. McKennitt doesn't break new ground, but stands firm and sounds gorgeous. 3. The Holy Grail of Irish Drinking Songs by Brobdingnagian Bards I'm partial to drinking. And drinking songs. And these are terrific! 4. Se by Lunasa This is an impressive CD. I continue to enjoy Lunasa's unique musical arrangements. 5. Fair Play To You by Bow Triplets Expert musicianship and a truly beautiful 16-track CD. 6. Bring Yer Wellies by Gaelic Storm Their best effort to date. 7. Yours Truly by Natalie MacMaster Um...it opens with a song called, "Volcanic Jig." Need I say more? 8. Live From Dublin 2006 by Christy Moore Can't believe a live CD makes my top ten 2 years running. This is a nice one though, and if you like Christie Moore--there is a lot here...2 discs! 9. Paddy Keys For Mayor by The Larkin Brigade Irreverent and just plain fun! Out of my normal comfort zone, but sometimes that is a really good thing! 10. Dealin' Craic by The Sandcarvers Celtic rock at its best! Catherine L.
