Oh, why shouldn't it be real? "The Most Bodhran Music You'll Ever
Hear", that sounds good. Someone once put out a record
called "Pachelbel's Greatest Hit" (singular), consisting of half a
dozen increasingly inane arrangements of the infamous Canon.

I actually rather liked the one with the chic's. :)
I thought about buying a Karan Casey cd a couple of years ago, but then
realized that her voice really irritated me. I ;ike having that Diedre chick
singing in Solas now.
And Seamus Egan got played today. :)

Dan in resp:218 :: For a review of "Pure Bodhran," see:
http://www.muse.ie/180800/reviews/revu_pure.html
or just run a google search on "pure bodhran ie". The album is
listed as a special order through US Amazon and a stock item at
musikfolk.com. Definitely not a joke. I'd order it tonight if I hadn't
already blown the month's music budget.

I haven't heard much from WATER FROM THE WELL, but I remember liking what I
heard. I appreciate the reminder. One sorta-Chieftains record from recent
years that gets a lot of play in my house is the FIRE IN THE KITCHEN album
from 3 or 4 years ago. Unlike Ken, I enjoyed the TEARS OF STONE release, too.
I thought Joni Mitchell's track excelled in the Irish interpretation, and that
was worth the price of the CD for me. Akiko Yano's "Sake in the Jar" was just
a bonus. ;-)

I really liked Tears of Stone. The Joni Mitchell piece was wonderful, and
Raglan Road just reminded me again why I really liked Joan Osborne. Since
I'm a big Loreena McKennit fan, that was really cool, too. :) And Cherish
the Ladies was a boatload of fun. And it was because of this cd that I got
hooked on Diana Krall's voice.

"Thistle and Shamrock" played a song from the new Peatbog Faeries,
Scottish traditional in a rock setting. I don't remember caring enough
about the first Peatbog album to replace it when it was pilfered from
my car in '97, but this new track was nice. And then the Tartan
Amoebas were doing an interesting track, "New Pipe Order" or something
like that...
Back to resp:221 :: I did get the "Pure Bodhran" compilation, and so
far it's been perfectly, um, adquate.

Re a bunch of responses:
I admittedly haven't eard much Irish music. My meager collection consists of
all the Enya CDs (which the last CD is more of the same), MISTY EYED
ADVENTURES by Maire Brennan, a couple of Altas CDs and the Green Linnet 20th
Anniversary 2-CD set. I've enjoyed all that I've heard so far, but know it's
just the tip of the iceberg.
Thanks for the discussion above. Reading the last 20 responses give me some
good ideas what to buy next.

Speaking of Green Linnet, they are currently offering an "apology sale" (to
compensate for multiple-mailings of their e-mail newsletter) of $7 per CD,
free shipping. There seems to be no limit to how many can be ordered.
