1	A Day Without Rain (2000) more music like this by Enya Enya's first full-length album of new material in five years (and her fourth in 12 years) will have a familiar sound to the millions who have followed her career so far. As usual, the slow songs sound like "Silent Night" being performed in a cathedral, and the less slow songs are paced by rhythm patterns that would be called pizzicato passages if ... see all copies from $4.22! new only from $9.00!
2	Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya (1997) more music like this by Enya Paint the Sky With Stars: The Best of Enya is an excellent 16-song overview of Enya's career, containing 14 selections from The Celts, Watermark, Shepherd Moon, and The Memory of Trees -- including "Caribbean Blue," "Anywhere Is," "Marble Halls," "Book of Days," and, of course, "Orinoco Flow" -- as well as two previously unreleased songs ("Only If ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $16.65!
3	A New Journey (2007) more music like this by Celtic Woman Celtic Woman, a Riverdance-inspired PBS phenomena that boasts the talents of several female leads and a whole lot of orchestra and genre instruments like pipes, bodhrans, and fiddles, gives contemporary Celtic the Il Divo treatment on New Journey, a lovely and occasionally over the top collection of familiar melodies and grandiose sentiments that ... see all copies from $16.64! new only from $16.64!
4	Shepherd Moons (1991) more music like this by Enya Calling Shepherd Moons a near carbon copy of Watermark puts it quite mildly. Like Watermark, Shepherd Moons opens with the title track, a calm instrumental, has another brief instrumental titled after a Dora Saint book smack in the middle ("No Holly for Miss Quinn"), and concludes with a number incorporating a striking uilleann pipes solo, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.65!
5	The Memory of Trees (1995) more music like this by Enya No surprises here, of course -- Enya didn't achieve new age superstardom by challenging anyone's expectations. This album is every bit as hushed, lovely, and soulless as everything else she's ever done; like a perfect angel food cake, it's sweet, soft, and utterly lacking in nutritive substance. There's nothing the matter with angel food cake, of ... see all copies from $2.05! new only from $16.65!
6	The Mask and Mirror (1994) more music like this by Loreena McKennitt Press play and enter the world of Loreena McKennitt, where walls dissolve into thick, billowing mists as the ground beneath your feet turns to compacted earth and the sky above opens up to reveal a black cloak dotted with shimmering stars draped beneath silk-like clouds. Were McKennitt's composing and songwriting abilities lacking of any luster ... see all copies from $2.18! new only from $10.65!
7	The Book of Secrets (1997) more music like this by Loreena McKennitt The Book of Secrets, the follow-up to 1994's The Mask and Mirror -- there was a Christmas EP, A Winter Garden, released in 1995) -- finds Loreena McKennitt in the same musical vein, mixing Celtic, Spanish, Italian, and new age to create her own distinct sound. The only problem is that she did not seem to progress much during the time between ... see all copies from $11.63! new only from $11.63!
8	A Christmas Celebration more music like this by Celtic Woman Manhattan's 15-track holiday compilation Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration features traditional yuletide classics like "Away in a Manger," "Little Drummer Boy," "O Holy Night," and "Silent Night" sung by some of the genre's loveliest sirens and accompanied by the occasional harp, cello, violin, and keyboard. Fans of Enya and Clannad will find ... see all copies from $16.64! new only from $16.64!
9	Pink Moon (1972) more music like this by Nick Drake After two albums of tastefully orchestrated folk-pop, albeit some of the least demonstrative and most affecting around, Drake chose a radical change for what turned out to be his final album. Not even half-an-hour long, with 11 short songs and no more -- he famously remarked at the time that he simply had no more to record -- Pink Moon more than ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.66!
10	Watermark (1988) more music like this by Enya Thanks to its distinct, downright catchy single "Orinoco Flow," which amusingly referenced both her record-company boss Rob Dickins and co-producer Ross Cullum in the lyrics, Enya's second album Watermark established her as the unexpected queen of gentle, Celtic-tinged new age music. To be sure, her success was as much due to marketing a niche ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $8.88!
11	Celtic Woman [Manhattan] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Manhattan Records' release of Celtic Woman is a compilation/collaboration between five unknown vocalists, introduced only by their first names (Chloë, Lisa, Órla, Méav, and Máiréad), who take turns chirping Irish ballads as heard through a dramatic, lush new age filter. Via reverb-heavy and thick keyboard atmospherics, the singers cover ... see all copies from $16.64! new only from $16.64!
12	Amarantine (2005) more music like this by Enya Second only to U2 as the most successful Irish recording artist of all time, Enya has built an empire out of multi-tracking her beautiful voice over the same keyboard patches that appeared on her post-Clannad debut since 1987. It's an empire that has progressed at a slow burn, peaking in 2000 and 2001 with her chart-topping ballad and unofficial ... see all copies from $7.31! new only from $12.45!
13 view cover	Enya (1986) more music like this by Enya With production and lyrical help fully in place thanks to her husband-and-wife gurus Nicky and Roma Ryan, Enya's combination of Celtic traditionalism and distinctly modern approach finds lush flower on her self-titled debut. All the elements that characterize her music -- open, clear nods to her Irish heritage, any number of vocal overdubs to ... see all copies from $5.00!
14 view cover	The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem (1996) more music like this by The Clancy Brothers & Makem & Tommy Makem The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem's third album for their own Tradition Records label was recorded and released in 1961 after they had already made their celebrated appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show and signed a non-exclusive recording contract with major label Columbia Records. Clearly, they were feeling confident in their musical approach, ... see all copies from $7.62! new only from $7.62!
15 view cover	Rumor and Sigh (1991) more music like this by Richard Thompson While Richard Thompson's devotees will tell you the man is a triple-threat genius -- passionate vocalist, compelling songwriter, and sterling guitarist -- even his most loyal supporters will concede that the dour nature of his songs and the no-frills production of many of his albums make the bulk of his catalog tough sledding for the uninitiated. ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
16 view cover	The Best of Van Morrison [Mercury] (1990) more music like this by Van Morrison For an artist who's doggedly album-oriented, plus a songwriter who revels in subtlety, Van Morrison doesn't seem like a logical candidate for a successful greatest-hits compilation. Nevertheless, The Best of Van Morrison is a crackerjack compilation, tracing Van the Man from his days with Them, through his best-known tunes ("Brown-Eyed Girl," ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $12.03!
17 view cover	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 $7.00! new only from $11.06!
18 view cover	Nights from the Alhambra (2007) more music like this by Loreena McKennitt Nights from the Alhambra chronicles ethereal Canadian Celtic/folk/worldbeat artist Loreena McKennitt's 2006 tour in support of her Ancient Muse album. Recorded in September in the Palace of Charles V at the Alhambra, a southern Spanish fortress on the eastern border of the city of Granada built by the Moors, McKennitt employed a 12-piece band that ... see all copies from $20.77! new only from $20.77!
19 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!
20 view cover	Garden State (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Zach Braff's Garden State is nearly as much of a piece with the film as the similarly sweet, quirky combinations of sound and vision in Wes Anderson's films and soundtracks. Garden State, however, is more modern in its outlook and more emotionally direct, with a mixtape earnestness belied by using not one but two songs from the ... see all copies from $8.23! new only from $12.69!
21 view cover	Gaelic Storm (1998) more music like this by Gaelic Storm The P.R. copy on the back cover of Gaelic Storm's self-titled 1998 debut credits the band's enthusiasm and verve with landing them the gig that brought them to the attention of mainstream America: their flashy cameo appearance in James Cameron's megablockuster film Titanic. The album does indeed bear out that claim. This foot-tapping collection of ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $15.11!
22 view cover	Dreams: The Ultimate Corrs Collection (2007) more music like this by The Corrs Like Canada's Great Big Sea, familial Irish collective the Corrs dutifully represent the "middle of the road" between slick, factory-made adult contemporary pop and traditional Celtic music. The Corrs' enormous popularity around the world is a testament to their innate accessibility, both musically and visually (let's face it, they're pretty hot), ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
23 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 $6.91! new only from $6.91!
24 view cover	Further Down the Old Plank Road: The Nashville Sessions (2003) more music like this by The Chieftains In 2002, the legendary and insanely prolific Irish ensemble the Chieftains released Down the Old Plank Road: The Nashville Sessions. Utilizing American icons like Ricky Skaggs, Del McCoury, and Lyle Lovett alongside the blossoming Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, their interpretations of traditional Irish and Appalachian staples yielded a ... see all copies from $6.90! new only from $11.06!
25 view cover	Five Leaves Left (1969) more music like this by Nick Drake It's little wonder why Drake felt frustrated at the lack of commercial success his music initially gathered, considering the help he had on his debut record. Besides fine production from Joe Boyd and assistance from folks like Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson and his unrelated bass counterpart from Pentangle, Danny Thompson, Drake also ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
