Music recs!

I'm groovin' on Live's Throwing Copper album. Yes, again. Just love it! :)
    I can feel it comin' back again
    Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
    Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
    I can feel it.
Music recs! Need music recs! New songs. Old songs. Anything! Well, not *anything*. I swear if there's a boy-band, Celine Dion or Top-40 rec in there, I'll whack you with a stick!

Cheryl Wheeler? Have not heard of her (him? them?) and will check out.

It's a she. And Sylvia Hotel has an interesting mix of serious and lighthearted. The Potato song will stick in your head and Right Way to do the Wrong Thing is S/Jish.

I do like celtic though (funny, since they're very related). Will check out Love Travels.

Right, here's my short celtic list *g*

Kathy Mattea - Roses (actually moreso than LT - the guy who wrote the title cut of LT wrote two on Roses, plus there's an incredible instrumental written by her long-time guitarist)

Ceili Rain - Say Kay-lee (the guy who wrote LT, but I found this album in a Christian store - just so's you know!)

Dougie MacLean - Scottish singer/songwriter - go for a compilation. I've got the Putamayo label one and love it.

The Oyster Band - Welsh and raucous - either Trawler or Deep Dark Ocean (which has one song done in both English and Welsh)

I've got some celtic compilations I'd be happy to burn for you to get a sampler of... it's all British celtic rather than American/Canadian.

Thanks for the list! Ooo - a compliation? *g*

Ooo - a compliation? *g*

I bought a couple when I lived in Scotland. The only ones I've found here tend to be a little on the cheesy side *g*

Cheesy? Well, I'd imagine that folk music from the indigenous area would be the best. :)

Oh absolutely...

... its all modern celtic stuff, btw... a little rock thrown in, but some wonderful stuff all the same :)

Great! No rush. :)
