1	Long Black Veil (1995) more music like this by The Chieftains With Long Black Veil, the Chieftains attempted a mainstream pop crossover by recording with rock and pop stars from the Rolling Stones and Sting to Van Morrison and Sinéad O'Connor. Instead of changing their sound to accommodate the talents of their guests, the band plays it straight. As always, their performance is superb; what is surprising is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.45!
2	Tears of Stone (1999) more music like this by The Chieftains This album is a follow-up to the 1995 album The Long Black Veil. The idea is the same: the Chieftains play house band for many guest vocalists and musicians. The difference this time around is that all the musicians and vocalists featured are women. Sinéad O'Connor is the one return performance, and she justifies that honor with her sorrowful and ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $11.06!
3	The Best of Irish Rovers (1999) more music like this by The Irish Rovers Somewhere between Bing Crosby's vocal novelties back in the '40s and the current popularity of dance troupes like Riverdance and Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance, the flag of Irish music was held aloft in North America during the '60s by the success of the Irish Rovers. Patterning themselves after the Clancy Brothers (another popular group ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $8.66!
4	Rum Sodomy & the Lash (1985) more music like this by The Pogues "I saw my task... was to capture them in their delapidated glory before some more professional producer f--ked them up," Elvis Costello wrote of his role behind the controls for the Pogues' second album, Rum Sodomy & the Lash. One spin of the album proves that Costello accomplished his mission; this album captures all the sweat, fire, and angry ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!
5	The Bells of Dublin (1991) more music like this by The Chieftains Joined by Nancy Griffith, the Irish group presents a superb concert, blending folk and country music. Well recorded and well photographed. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.70!
6	The Best of the Chieftains [1992] (1992) more music like this by The Chieftains Well, sort of. The 50 minutes of music here represent the best of the group's three albums (Chieftains 7, Chieftains 8, Boil the Breakfast Early) recorded for Columbia Records during 1977, 1978, and 1979. It's a good collection, and not a bad place to start for the new listener, though it won't offer any revelations for longtime fans, who'd tuned ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
7	Rant and Roar (1998) more music like this by Great Big Sea Essentially a compilation for the U.S. market, where the first three albums were unreleased, Rant and Roar samples tracks from the more commercially oriented second and third albums. While some great tracks are missing (notably a few from the first album), the songs included on this collection nevertheless provide a pretty representative and ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $6.99!
8	Celtic Treasure: The Legacy of Turlough O'Carolan (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.83! new only from $14.83!
9	Rum Sodomy & the Lash [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by The Pogues "I saw my task...was to capture them in their dilapidated glory before some more professional producer fcked them up," Elvis Costello wrote of his role behind the controls for the Pogues' second album, Rum Sodomy & the Lash. One spin of the album proves that Costello accomplished his mission; this album captures all the sweat, fire, and angry joy ... see all copies* from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
10	If I Should Fall from Grace with God [Bonus Track] (2006) more music like this by The Pogues If Rum Sodomy & the Lash captured the Pogues on plastic in all their rough-and-tumble glory, If I Should Fall from Grace with God proved they could learn the rudiments of proper record making and still come up with an album that captured all the sharp edges of their musical personality. Producer Steve Lillywhite imposed a more disciplined approach ... see all copies from $9.04! new only from $11.11!
11	Santiago (1996) more music like this by The Chieftains Here the Chieftains have embarked upon an exploration of the "lost Celtic province" of Galicia (the northwest corner of Spain) and areas extending to Portugal, the Basque provinces, and Cuba. They have used the finest musicians from these areas to propel their music with a conviction that staggers the imagination. Santiago catapults the listener ... see all copies from $6.86! new only from $6.86!
12 view cover	Live in Seattle (1999) more music like this by Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill The live context often tends to exaggerate a musician's natural inclinations -- punk bands play louder and faster, reggae bands crank up the bass an extra notch or two, Irish musicians thrown in wilder ornaments and wind the tempo up a bit. For fiddler Martin Hayes, whose natural tendency is to play in a stately, decorous style that shows off the ... see all copies from $7.91! new only from $15.49!
13 view cover	Home for Christmas (1999) more music like this by Irish Tenors The Irish Tenors' second album, Home for Christmas, features a 90-piece orchestra, a host of traditional holiday songs, and the Tenors' rich harmonies. Home for Christmas also includes traditional Irish and inspirational songs, rounding out an accomplished, accessible collection. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.20! new only from $13.62!
14 view cover	The Essential Chieftains (2006) more music like this by The Chieftains RCA Legacy's The Essential Chieftains breaks the legendary Irish collective's career into two sections. The first disc focuses on 18 of the group's finest traditional works like "Boil the Breakfast Early," "The Wind That Shakes the Barley/The Reel with the Beryle," and "Donegal Set," while the second disc relies on 17 of the band's billion or so ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
15 view cover	The Celtic Harp (1993) more music like this by The Chieftains Produced by head Chieftain Paddy Maloney, The Celtic Harp is essentially a showcase for the very talented harpist Derek Bell. Bell handled all of the arrangements, as well as contributed harpsichord and tiompan to the proceedings. Fine solos from flute god Matt Malloy ("Parting of Friends/Kerry Fling"), vocalist Kevin Conneff ("Green Fields of ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
16 view cover	Irish Evening (1992) more music like this by The Chieftains While there's nothing quite like seeing the Chieftains live in concert, An Irish Evening marks the next best thing. Recorded live over two evenings at the Grand Opera House in Belfast, the disc captures the group's eclectic, fun, and loving approach to traditional Irish music. American country-folk singer/songwriter Nanci Griffith (a huge star in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	The Chieftains 9: Boil the Breakfast Early (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains The big change on their ninth album, in Chieftains terms anyway, was the departure of founding members Sean Potts and Martin Tubridy, to be replaced by flutist and tin whistler Matt Molloy, formerly of Planxty and the Bothy Band. It still sounds like a Chieftains record though, mixing up the reels, hornpipes, and more gentle airs, with an energy ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.33!
18 view cover	If I Should Fall from Grace with God (1988) more music like this by The Pogues If Rum Sodomy & the Lash captured the Pogues on plastic in all their rough-and-tumble glory, If I Should Fall from Grace with God proved they could learn the rudiments of proper record making and still come up with an album that captured all the sharp edges of their musical personality. Producer Steve Lillywhite imposed a more disciplined approach ... see all copies from $4.45! new only from $11.43!
19 view cover	Celtic Woman, Vol. 1 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists A sleeve note helpfully divides the seven female Celtic performers on this disc into "Singer-songwriter (Marian Bradfield, Fiona Joyce), Roots (Maighread Ni Dhomhnaill & Aine Furey) and experimental Celtic (Loreena McKennitt, Melanie O'Reilly & Rita Connolly)." In practice, you would say that they actually have much in common, in that they are all ... see all copies from $11.48! new only from $14.83!
20 view cover	Out & About (1993) more music like this by Cherish the Ladies This followup to The Back Door is another marvelous display of tight group playing and soloing. Johnny Cunningham produced it. Steve Winick, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.29! new only from $15.49!
21 view cover	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 $2.65! new only from $2.65!
22 view cover	Celtic Wedding: Music of Brittany (1998) more music like this by The Chieftains The Chieftains selected the music that comprises Celtic Wedding: Music of Brittany from Tonious Breizhl, a publication about traditional tunes from Lower Brittany in France. The group runs through a collection of traditional Breton songs about weddings, several carols, and dances, capturing the spirit of these traditional French celebrations. ... see all copies from $7.84! new only from $7.84!
23 view cover	Down the Old Plank Road: The Nashville Sessions (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains In the wake of the success of O Brother Where Art Thou?, this collaboration between Irish supergroup the Chieftains and some of country's best known neo-traditionalists was almost inevitable. Luckily for all involved, the idea actually makes a lot of sense too. Most of the ballads and work songs that were born in the Appalachian hills have deep ... see all copies from $4.15! new only from $11.06!
24 view cover	Great Big Sea (1992) more music like this by Great Big Sea While The Rankin Family may have spurred the interest in Celtic music in Canada, Great Big Sea were the ones to really take the style and run with it, bringing it to a younger audience that previously regarded it as a style more suitable for fishermen and grandparents. This self-titled album is the most traditional of the group's albums, both ... see all copies from $11.15! new only from $11.15!
25 view cover	Collected (1988) more music like this by Mary Black She's a pop icon in her native Ireland who evokes barely a ripple of recognition in the U.S., mainly because she's spent most of her career gradually moving away from traditional Irish music (which still has a relatively small listening constituency in the States) and into the sort of Broadway-esque demi-pop that thrills Europeans and befuddles ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $15.28!
