We just did this on another forum I belong to, and I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone else here is listening to. Here's my list.

1. With Silver & All - Jenna Reid
2. Laughing Girl - Jenna Reid (couldn't find these 2 albums for a decent price in the states - amazon wanted $38 and $46 for them! - so I got them from a friend in the UK in exchange for a few Elders CDs)
3. Mar A Tha Mo Chridhe - Julie Fowlis
4. Cuilidh (special edition) - Julie Fowlis
5. Da Homin - Kevin Henderson, Jenna Reid & Kevin MacKenzie
6. Dual - Eamon Doorley, Julie Fowlis, Ross Martin & Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh
7. Transatlantic Sessions 3 Vol. 1
8. Transatlantic Sessions 3 Vol. 2
9. Take the 5ifth - Bridget St. John (gift from a friend who saw her in concert recently...I'd never heard of her before then)
10. Gael Day - The Elders

Hmm. I don't know if I can even remember 10. I rarely buy full albums anymore - I download individual songs off of iTunes.

I did buy the full album of the Makem and Spain Brothers' Home Away From Home recently.

And I picked up The Very Best of the Police and Sting from the bargain bin a few months back.

Those are the only ones recently.

Like Rebel, I can't remember 10 albums. That would go back decades...

France Ellul who plays harp in the group Anwen, gave me a CD, and now I can't find the thing, curse it.

There was an Enya CD turned up in a bag of CDs someone gave me. The rest are summed up by "Music to do Yoga to".

I promised to try to learn a Powwow song, and bought a CD called Powwow Songs, Music of the Plains Indians. Recorded in Oklahoma, there, Walden!

I also got a CD which claims to be an anthology of Native American Music but is some New Age nonsense recorded in Netherlands.

Songs of Witchcraft and Magic, from the Museum of Witchcraft in Boscastle, in Cornwall.

John Martyn, Patterns in the Rain.

And before that, Seumas Ennis, Legendary Piper.

That collection must be conclusive proof that I don't listen to CDs.

The Library of Congress site is a great resource. I think it's downloadable your side of the earth, because there aren't the copyright restrictions on most U.S. government works. Anyway, you might check out these downloads: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/omhhtml/omhhome.html

Currently floating randomly about my MP3Player are The Boys of the Lough first and second albums, Oscar Peterson and Stephan Grappelli live in Paris, Paddy Moloney and Sean Potts Tin Whistles, Roberta (a Roberta Flack album),A couple of J.J. Cale (Five and the Best of, I think), Mark O'Connors "Heros "( and what a mob that is...Grappelli, Ponty, Hickman, Clements and Gimble to name a few), A Gary Burton the name of which escapes me right now and a few from Dylan, Bothys, Planxty and a greatest Arias collection.

I am also enjoying a young American girl..I'll re-phrase that..listening to a young American girl called Taylor Swift - Fearless is the album title - who although only nineteen, shows great promise as a songwriter.

Slan,
D.

Yep..for sure.

I have managed to avoid whatever Hype is floating around by steering clear of any promo/websites etc.
A friend gave me a copy wondering what I would make of it.
I was very impressed.
I was amazed to find out later that she gets filed under Country Music..

This one has a couple of great albums in her..wait and see.

Slan,
D.

Lyrically speaking, perhaps. I've not been interested enough to actually read them. But,that's only because I can't get past her Country-Pop-Chipmunky voice.

I think that with a bit of luck her vocal skills will mature alongside her lyrics. I don't listen to mainstream Country or Pop so I don't see..or hear..anything dodgy in her voice. Mrs. D has nearly passed out when she heard me playing Fearless...seems that La Swift is in the pop charts over here but I wouldn't know that now would I?

Doing something unpredictable, are we? It suits you

I only know she's on the charts because I have 100 teenagers in my house (at least that's how it feels sometimes...) and while they generally have decent taste in music, I am periodically subjected to the mainstream pop nastiness.
