I'm stealing a page out of Zina's book: what CDs are you listening to at the moment?? I'm entranced with "Touch Me if You Dare"-Ronan Browne and Peter O'Loughlin. Lovely tunes on a flat set ( B) and fiddle, a precursor to Mick O'Brien and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh"s "Kitty lie over" CD.
I've just been to Ireland, and have consequently come back with their entire stock of cds, well....nearly. I haven't listened to them all yet, but at the mo my favourite is Kate Rusby, Underneath the Stars.
It's really hard to get decent folk cds round where I live, apart from '100 greatest pub songs', and '50 Traditional Irish Tunes' which includes Frere Jacques and Titanic. Seriously, who the hell makes these cds?????
I've been listening to Maeve Donnelly and Peadar O'Loughlin "The Thing Itself" quite often. That's probably because I'm a fluter.
Others are:
Paul O'Shaughnessy & Harry Bradley "...born for sport"
Carmel Gunning "The Sligo Maid"
John Carty & Brian McGrath "The Cat that Ate the Candle"
"Within a Mile of Kilty", picked up from Ben Lennon at Miltown.
Here's a blurb from tradmusic.com:
Kiltyclogher is only a small village in Leitrim, but one with a big sound. Fiddle players John Gordon, Ben and Charlie Lennon, Brian Rooney, Maurice Lennon and Seamus Quinn are very well-respected local musicians whose playing over the last 40 years has stamped Kiltyclogher firmly on the musical map. Excellent stuff.
Liam Farrell & Joe Whelan, Ceili Bandits, Brian McGrath & Johnny Og Connolly
but also Roby Lakatos (bliss!) and Brian Eno. Well, at least the latter appeared in the last episode of Father Ted
Scott Joplin: Piano Rags - Joshua Rifkin
J.S. Bach: The Unaccompanied Cello Suites - Yo Yo Ma
J. S. Bach: Sonatas for Violin and Piano - Mela Tenenbaum and Richard Kapp
Mozart: Horn Concertos - Dennis Brain
America's Choice - Hot Tuna
Up Close - Kevin Burke
Plus assorted mp3s of Michael Colman, Paddy Cronin, Julia Fischer and . . . Jode.
I mean, has anyone else's car broken down or been stolen, like mine? Pagers not working, family squabbles.... ah well, it's probably just me. I had been listening to Trian & Jerry Holland, but in the past week I've gone back to good ol' Lúnasa & even some Bothy. Oh, & Laura Byrne's new CD with the whole Baltimore posse chipping in. I posted it a few weeks ago in the recordings section, "Tune for the Road." Gets better with every listen.
Emily --- No car problems, but how about two computers totaled in 3 weeks? One general systems failure, one hard drive that made noises like a ball bearing in a tin cup.
As to what music I am listening to at this very moment, Tannahill Weavers, "Capernaum" --- but right before that, Teada, "Give Us A Penny and Let Us Be Gone" and right before *that* Kevin Burke "In Concert".
The original Fairport. Downloaded a heap of tunes and songs, Sandy Denny, and made my own CD. I might not be able to work "audacity" but I am getting better on the computer.
Great stuff, Fairport Mk1. I still have Swarbrick's Rakish Paddy/Lark in theMorning/Foxhuntes/Toss the Feathers as one of my gotta learn the tunes track
Early Hawkwind. Tommy Potts home recordings. Flute Geezers record. Bobby Casey. Sandrine Piau's Debussy CD. Old Time and French Canadian 78s. Topic Voice of the People CDs.
Stuff like that.
Vintage Fairport was first place I heard reels and jigs. I should cue up Liege and Lief, it's been 10 years now...
Kevin- try diging up a book by Britta Sweers- its her PhD thesis fleshed out. It deals with English folk rock, Steeleye, Fairport, Albion Country Band, et al. Interesting book, very much rooted in acadaemia-but very readable; wished I could have gotten a doctorate with it myself. She writes a great deal on Fairport, their influences and all that. I just cued up Tam Lin on my iTunes playlist as well.
Hope to see you down at the Tionol-bring your fiddle as well.
Listening to the Cottars. They are kids and they are great! It's almost frightening to think how good they'll be when they are adults! Listened a Kevin Burke/Mikheal O'Donheill (sp??)concert earlier today.
Anita Best and Pamela Morgan - The Colour of Amber. Beautiful singing of Newfoundland folk songs. Several are local variations on older themes like Cruel Sister and Willy O'Winsbury.
Most played albums for me at the moment: The Tap Room Trio's album, The Peatbog Faeries' "Croftwork", Fianna's "Crame On" and Martin Hayes's "Live In Seattle". And my own because it's the best feeling!
I-Fel - Wow, Britney Speers has a doctoral dissertation on English Folk music.? Really? Thanks for that info!!

I am very pleased with John Doyle's new album, Wayward Son, the instrumentals are spot on as always, and his singing is much more confident. And there are some nice blends of old-timey and Irish, his life in the Carolinas seems to be agreeing with him.
And I have been listening to a La Bottine Souriante album, Je (Something) Tant Ri (sorry, it is in the car, and I am too lazy to go and check the title). I just saw this Quebequois band at the Lowell Folk Festival and they are awesome. I picked up a couple more of their albums, since they aren't normally available in the States.
And there is a new Rough Guide to Irish Music out that was very nicely put together, a good mix of trad and modern, song and tune (there is a version of Sleeve Gallion Braes where the harmonies are awesome).
And it is not a CD, but snippets of song from the Irish rock band Dropkick Murphys are featured during Red Sox TV broadcasts.
I'll second the praise for John Doyle's latest, "Wayward Son." Nice songs like "Captain Glenn" and his own "Bitter the Parting" are coupled nicely with fiery tune sets, showcasing his composition and arrangement skills. Surely, this is God.
Another I keep cuing up (and was lucky to pick up) was Turas Go Tir na Nog by Caoimhin O'Raghallaigh, who only pressed (burnt?) about 500 copies. Nothin' but the lone fiddle, he really plays like an old duffer.
Kevin- what tunes was Caoimhin playing? That would be cool CD to have in the collection. I keep listening to our "7 years of listening" CD with him and Mick- great stuff
I'm listening to some crazy stuff at the moment. My band was in New Caledonia and we played in this great Basque restuarant/pub called La Fiesta, and they put on a CD at the end of our gig and every got up and sang and ran around with bull helmets and did some crazy rowing race on the floor. The CD was called 'Le Milleurs des Tri Yann'. Great music. Also listening to 'Tunes', thank you to Mr. Alan Doherty for posting it to me! And some Chick Corea as well....
quiet a selection passing through my cd player at the moment:
Tony O Connell & Andy Morrow,
Dessie Kelliher (banjo),
Dave Munnelly,
Gavin, Brock, Lennon - Omos do Joe Cooley
Noel Hill & Tony Linnane,
Dermot Byrne, Dessie Donnelly & Steve Cooney (live recording I got from Tim Edey)
Shannon, Gavin, McGoldrick & Murray - Choonz!!!
I'm using the school holidays again to save my acoustic treasures onto CD. To check the results I lately I listened to
- Nic Jones/ Best of "Noah's Ark Trap" and "Penguin Eggs"
- Wacholder/ "Es ist an der Zeit" (incl. German translations of McPherson's Farewell and Green Fields of France)
- Horch/ superb live recordings of mediaeval folk-rock
Next will be guitarist John Renbourn in various combinations.
still cant stop listening to Angelina & Peter Carberry with John Blake, "Memories from the Holla", and Mick O'Brien & Caoimhin O'Raghallaigh's "Kitty Lie Over", and also Tony O'Connell & Andy Morrow, and then a bit of Frank Zappa "You are what you is", Tori Amos "Under the pink" and Joni Mitchell "Blue" thrown in for variety!
Sisters of Mercy, Queens of the Stone Age, and Good Charlotte ("Girls don't like boys - they like cars and moneeeeeyyyy - boys laugh at girls, even when they're not funnyyyyyy...").
1) Auntie Mary Had a Canary 2:05
2) The Dún Reel 4:26

Peter Laban wrote: "Caiomhin has a track on the Cumar cd released by Clo Iar Connaughta, if that makes up for the other one being unavailable.
The Tir na nOg cd was by the way recorded in one go when Caoimhin was seventeen, he sat in the stairwell of ITMA and got it down in one go. He takes his time, one of the slow air takes about ten minutes. I've known him since he was 13 or 14 and he's disgustingly brilliant. On both pipes and fiddle. And flute or anything else."
“Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell” – unabridged audio book (26 CD’s). I commute about 500 miles per week, so I do a *lot* of listening. Great book, by the way.
Bach, Works for Solo Violin – Lara St. John. Brilliant, thrilling, seductive! And that’s just the cover photo.
The new Altan CD - can’t remember the name. Very nice!
At the moment there’s a mix of 10 on my player:
Out Of the Wind and Into the sun– with the songs deleted
Burke, McGann, Dolan’s tribute to Coleman
Cathal Hayden – Handed Down
Karen Tweed – Silver Spire
Kevin Burke – If the cap fits
Paddy Keenen –Poirt An Phiobaire
Molly/Brady/Peoples
Frankie Gavin/Brock’s tribute to Joe Cooley
McGann/Brady – It’s a hard road to travel
Kerri’s Composium CD
well, I just got my Oxford American Music Issue CD and it has a bunce of R&R, Delta/country blues- really good stuff to listen to in between. I'll be posting this every so often to see what interesting CDs are out there
Have regressed to two old albums again, i keep coming back to them. "Doublin"
Paddy's keenan and Glackin. Brilliant.
And Kevin (GOD) Burke, "If the cap fits"
Also a singing CD, Elusive Butterfly, by Claire Watts. Picked it up in Miltown when I was over for the Last Willie Week. Great Stuff. Available on her site http://www.clairemwatts.com
I agree, Kevin(GOD) Burke. I've been listening to "If the Cap Fits" too. Also another fiddling great, Byron Berline--his gospel album "Oil in my Lamp." Great stuff.

Re: What CDs are we all listening to??
well, I just got my Oxford American Music Issue CD and it has a bunce of R&R, Delta/country blues- really good stuff to listen to in between. I'll be posting this every so often to see what interesting CDs are out there

Re: What CDs are we all listening to??
Have regressed to two old albums again, i keep coming back to them. "Doublin"
Paddy's keenan and Glackin. Brilliant.
And Kevin (GOD) Burke, "If the cap fits"
Also a singing CD, Elusive Butterfly, by Claire Watts. Picked it up in Miltown when I was over for the Last Willie Week. Great Stuff. Available on her site http://www.clairemwatts.com

I agree, Kevin(GOD) Burke. I've been listening to "If the Cap Fits" too. Also another fiddling great, Byron Berline--his gospel album "Oil in my Lamp." Great stuff.
