Celtic Christmas: A Windham Hill Sampler
(more) »rank: 1463by: Various Artists
: :Another satisfying collection of Celtic music, traditional and contemporary, that includes such modern-day folkies as Luka Bloom and, for the lack of a better term, New Age composer Loreena McKennitt. Fans who remember Planxty, the Bothy Band, Silly Wizard, and Capercaillie will embrace the performances here by individual members of those critically acclaimed and popular groups. Nightnoise singer Triona Ní Dhomhnaill, who was once described as one of the greatest voices of the century, sings a haunting piece called 'Solus,' while her brother and former Bothy Band fiddler Kevin Burke create an enchanting place on 'On a Cold Winter's Day/Christmas Eve.' In the ...

: :In 1993, Windham Hill Records released its fourth album of seasonal music recorded by the label's artists and unavailable in any other collection. Only a few of the tracks on A Winter's Solstice IV lend credence to the label's unfair stereotype as the home for new age background music. Many of the musicians come from such respected jazz bands as Oregon and the Freddie Hubbard Quartet, and from such respected folk bands as the David Grisman Quartet. Several tackle such classical pieces as Bach's 'Sheep May Safely Graze' (the Modern Mandolin Quartet), Purcell's 'Trumpet Tune' (solo guitarist Alex de Grassi) and Vivaldi's 'Four ...

Will the Circle Be Unbroken (30th Anniversary Edition)

: :In an age when the old-timey soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? sells 5 million copies, it's hard to imagine how revolutionary Will the Circle Be Unbroken seemed upon its release 30 years ago. The triple album (now rereleased as a two-CD set) paired many of Nashville's venerable country and bluegrass performers (Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, Vassar Clements) with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, or as Acuff called them, 'a bunch of long-haired West Coast boys.' The idea seemed nearly as foreign as Martians setting down in Tennessee, but the Dirt Band were ...
