1	Local Ground (2005) more music like this by Altan When Altan first lit up the folk scene in 1989 with the superb Horse With a Heart, critics and listeners alike heralded them as the future of traditional Celtic music. Slowly but surely the group lived up to its promise, delivering album after album of forward-thinking jigs, ballads, reels, and airs, but as the genre became flooded with likeminded ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
2	Celtic Woman, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.13! new only from $15.13!
3	Celtic Christmas [Windham Hill] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists As one might expect, any Windham Hill collection of Christmas music expresses the peaceful, mellower side of the season. These are the same kind of instrumentals that play overhead creating pleasant background music as shoppers bustle to finish holiday gift buying. And while anything labeled "background music" may be seen as musical Milquetoast, ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $8.29!
4	Harvest Storm (1992) more music like this by Altan Altan has long been one of the most consistently thrilling of the current crop of traditional Irish groups, and it's difficult to pick a single highlight from their catalog. But if pressed, many fans and critics would pick either Harvest Storm or the equally fine Red Crow. Although the program is a fairly typical collection of traditional reel ... see all copies from $9.26! new only from $14.80!
5	Celtic Moods [Virgin] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The success of the new age compilation Pure Moods in early 1997 led to the release of Celtic Moods later in the year. Like its predecessor, Celtic Moods is essentially a new age collection -- here, Celtic is code for mystic. A few songs, such as the Waterboys' "Strange Boat," adhere to the earthy spirit of Irish folk, but much of the music -- ... see all copies from $8.36! new only from $8.36!
6	Celtic Tides (1998) more music like this by Various Artists One of the earlier entries in Putumayo's extensive catalogs, Celtic Tides is a collection of relatively expansive works of modern Celtic music pre-dating at least some of the craze in Celtic sounds that would come in the years to follow. The sounds here range from the well-known old guard members (the Rankin Family, the Chieftains, Clannad) to the ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $10.20!
7	The Blue Idol (2002) more music like this by Altan Altan continue to go from strength to strength. While it seemed for a little while that the 1994 death of founder Frankie Kennedy would tear the band apart, they've ended up a strong, cohesive unit instead, one which continues to push at the boundaries of Irish music, albeit in small ways. But when you're this good -- and they deserve the tag as ... see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
8	Celtic Odyssey (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Creatively merging old with the new, Celtic Odyssey unites a host of musicians whose collective talents pay tribute to the ageless appeal of Celtic music. What makes Celtic Odyssey such a rare treat in a music market overflowing with good Gaelic sound is the superb collection of outstanding musicians who contribute to this gem of a recording. ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $44.17!
9	Island Angel (1993) more music like this by Altan The follow-up to 1992's brilliant Harvest Storm was this almost equally powerful album, similar to its predecessor in configuration and artistry, but lacking some of the moments of simple magic that animated that previous effort. The band opens with an exhilarating set of reels consisting of the ever-popular "Tommy Peoples," "The Windmill" (an ... see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
10	Dance of the Celts (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Dedicated to Celtic dance and the lively music that accompanies it, this collection may give even the most rhythmically challenged the momentarily illusion that they too can have a go on the old wood floor. The album begins with a nod to Lochshore, one of Scotland's finest record labels; Anna Murray's reel set on the less piercing small pipes, and ... see all copies from $14.83! new only from $14.83!
11 view cover	The Best of Altan (1997) more music like this by Altan If you don't count The Chieftains, Altan is probably the most popular traditional Irish group in the world right now. And they continue to find favor among hardcore folkies where The Chieftains don't, since they resist the temptation to record albums with the likes of Roger Daltrey and Van Morrison. The band originally formed around the husband ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!

13 view cover	The Red Crow (1990) more music like this by Altan The band really nails down its sound on this superb work. Steve Winick, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.44!
14 view cover	Celtic Legacy: A Global Celtic Journey (1995) more music like this by Various Artists A fine and dandy collection of Celtic music from a number of countries, and not a Clannad cut in sight (there are other bands needing a bit of exposure). The music here ranges from traditional to gleefully contemporary, with everything being tossed in from clarsach to synthesizer and then some, while the music itself covers everything from ... see all copies from $7.50!
15 view cover	The Best of Altan: The Songs (2003) more music like this by Altan Altan has reached a point in its career where the band could conceivably exist off of the endless repackaging of its collected works. After nine solid albums of Celtic wizardry, they show no signs of slowing down, and seem the likely candidate to usurp the throne currently occupied by the Chieftains. The Best of Altan: The Songs is an anthology of ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
16 view cover	Horse with a Heart (1989) more music like this by Altan From one of the premier Irish bands around comes this masterwork of fiddles and vocals. The highlight throughout the album is the parallel fiddling of Maighread Ní Mhaonaigh and Paul O'Shaughnessy. While this album predates some of their slightly better-known work, it provides the same basic set of music: reels, jigs, Gaelic vocals, etc. Ní ... see all copies from $14.41! new only from $14.41!
17 view cover	A Thistle & Shamrock Christmas Ceilidh (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The relationship between the Green Linnet label and the popular National Public Radio Thistle & Shamrock program is a strong and longstanding one, and it's made explicit on this tie-in compilation project, for which Thistle & Shamrock host Fiona Ritchie chose a program of tunes like those that might be heard during a winter ceilidh in her home ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $9.88!
18 view cover	The Best of the Thistle & Shamrock, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.49!
19 view cover	Another Sky (2000) more music like this by Altan The whole Celtic music craze turned many opportunistic American musicians into Irish Rovers, but this joyous mix of traditional jigs and folksy tunes by six natives is the real deal. The band features two fiddlers, an accordionist, a bouzzouki player, and two guitarists, with lead vocals by Maircad Ni Mhaonaigh, switching off in mood and tempo ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $15.11!
20 view cover	Blackwater (1996) more music like this by Altan One is left in little doubt at the outset that Blackwater marks a significant change in the career of Altan, the best-selling act in the history of U.S. Celtic independent label Green Linnet. Even before you notice that the album is not on Green Linnet and that the group has moved up to major label Virgin, and even before you consult the personnel ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!

22 view cover	Green Linnet 20th Anniversary Collection (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Green Linnet 20th Anniversary Collection is a double-disc collection featuring 38 tracks from the Celtic music insitution. Every one of the label's biggest artists -- including Silly Wizard, Altan, Wolfstone, the Bothy Band, John Williams, Tannahill Weavers -- is on the collection, giving a good representation of not only the label, but the state ... see all copies from $3.24! new only from $14.80!
23 view cover	The First Ten Years: 1986-1995 (1995) more music like this by Altan Presenting excerpts from the group's tenure on the Green Linnet label, which is decisively its most productive period, Altan's first ten years are expertly captured here. Notably short on Maighread Ní Mhaonaigh and Frankie Kennedy's earliest pre-Altan recordings, the disc starts and ends with the band's most fruitful albums, bridging 1987's Altan ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $15.49!
24 view cover	Song of the Green Linnet (2000) more music like this by Various Artists No American label can boast a Celtic music catalog as rich and deep as Green Linnet's, and the company has demonstrated that over the years with a string of very fine compilations. This one focuses on vocal performances by such world-class solo artists as June Tabor, Niamh Parsons, and Andy M. Stewart, as well as ensembles as diverse as Celt ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $6.48!
