1	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 $3.65! new only from $8.29!
2	Celtic Bagpipes (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.95!
3	Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, & Chanteys (2006) more music like this by Various Artists While the marketing insanity for Pirates of the Caribbean II continues to echo in the popular mindset, this whopping yet seemingly near-underground document -- born from the minds of the film's director, Gore Verbinski, his pal Johnny Depp, and Anti-Epitaph label boss (and Verbinski buddy) Brett Gurewitz -- may end up as a lasting contribution to ... see all copies from $11.69! new only from $19.42!
4	Celtic Voices: Women of Song (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Although studio gloss makes it hard to tell what nature created and what is masked with over-production, this pleasant collection contains some fine vocal performances, and the contributors (Mary McLaughlin, Connie Dover, Mairéid Sullivan, and Emma Christian) have gained impressive acclaim. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.08! new only from $14.56!
5	Narada Presents: The Best of Celtic Christmas (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Narada Records has a long history of brilliant world music compilations and Christmas samplers, and this enjoyable, joyous yet often poignant gathering of Celtic music's brightest stars adds another beautiful ornament to that evergreen tree. The key to any successful musical smorgasbord is variety, and this celebration of the holidays in Ireland ... see all copies from $14.12! new only from $16.51!
6	Dublin Lady (1987) more music like this by Andy Stewart A masterpiece and a must for Celtic music fans, it includes Manus Lunny. Steve Winick, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.00! new only from $14.19!
7	Inside the Thunder (2006) more music like this by Dougie MacLean The pervading mood on Inside the Thunder, Dougie MacLean's first album in several years, is sadness. The title comes from "Song for Johnny," a tribute to the late Johnny Cunningham, who was once replaced by MacLean in the band Silly Wizard. "It seems we never learned to play it slow," MacLean sings, "We just danced inside the thunder." But on the ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $14.95!

10	Legacy of the Scottish Fiddle, Vol. 1: Classic Tunes (2001) more music like this by Alasdair Fraser & Paul Machlis There's a huge legacy of Scottish material for the fiddle, and its melodies are vastly different from the Irish. Who better to explore it than Alasdair Fraser, who's not only a virtuoso on the instrument, but whose love of the music is apparent in every note he plays? In pianist Paul Machlis he has a very sympathetic companion -- a man who can not ... see all copies from $11.49! new only from $12.85!
11 view cover	25 Years of Celtic Music (2001) more music like this by Various Artists American-based Green Linnet Records has been the definitive voice in Celtic music since the mid-'70s, and to celebrate its quarter-century mark, the label released a two-CD set featuring exceptional songs from some of the best loved artists on its roster. Often when labels assemble their best-of collections they end up sounding cobbled together ... see all copies from $4.93! new only from $14.93!
12 view cover	Alchemy (2000) more music like this by The Tannahill Weavers Fans of the Tannahill Weavers know just what to expect, and they get it here: an opening set of swirling pipe tunes to get your heart racing, then an achingly gorgeous vocal tune filled with historical regret and couched in intricate harmonies. Then more of the same: a set of swirling flute tunes (the wonderful "One for the Road Set") followed by ... see all copies from $10.86! new only from $10.86!
13 view cover	Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns (2003) more music like this by Eddi Reader Eddi Reader has proven her worth as a sublime singer of pop and folk material (and beyond), but this returns her full-bore to her Scottish roots. Born from the concerts she did at the 2002 Celtic Connections festival, it's a decidedly lush performance that hauls in several well-known Celtic names like Phil Cunningham, John McCusker, and Ian Carr ... see all copies from $13.88! new only from $16.26!
14 view cover	Peacetime (2007) more music like this by Eddi Reader 2003's excellent Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns found the Glasgow native exploring her Scottish roots, a thread she continues to uncoil on Peacetime. Whether the piece is traditional or contemporary, Reader is a first-class interpreter of songs, and her abilities as a singer are indisputably rare. While she can wield her regional lilt ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!

16 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 $7.94! new only from $15.49!
17 view cover	Another Gem (2001) more music like this by Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham Fiddler Aly Bain and producer/multi-instrumentalist Phil Cunningham (who spends most of his time on accordion) have gradually become elder statesmen of Celtic music, both of them frequent guests on younger musicians' albums and highly respected both as soloists and as former members of seminal groups (Bain is a member of the Boys of the Lough, ... see all copies from $13.88! new only from $16.26!
18 view cover	Epona (1998) more music like this by The Tannahill Weavers No great departure here from the Tannies' usual fare: lovely and expertly arranged sets of jigs and reels alternating with traditional Scottish songs, equally well-arranged and often featuring startlingly dense and tight vocal harmonies. Epona gets off to a rather slow start, with the weak and sludgy "Interceltic Set." But the gorgeous harmony ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $18.07!
19 view cover	Dancing Feet (1987) more music like this by The Tannahill Weavers Celtic music began to gain enormous popularity in the late '80s, and after the release of Land of Light, Scotland's the Tannahill Weavers -- who are now known in the U.S. -- spent the next three years touring. In 1987, after a lineup change that included the departure of piper Alan MacLeod, they released their seventh record. Dancing Feet is a ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $18.07!

23 view cover	Lowlands (1994) more music like this by Jean Redpath With Abby Newton Jean Redpath's smoky mezzo-soprano voice was at its mature best during the late '70s when she made this record, and her taste as a song collector was also as reliable as ever. Accompanied by cellist Abby Newton and recorder player Drake Mabry, Redpath delivers a trademark set of Scottish folk songs both old and new. Among the modern compositions ... see all copies from $49.10!
24 view cover	Traditional Music of Scotland (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Green Linnet's series of budget compilations under their Celtophile label provide a grand introduction to the breadth and depth of Celtic music in Ireland, Scotland and Britain, ranging from the traditional to the contemporary, represented by artists such as the Tannahill Weavers, Capercaillie and Silly Wizard, among others.
