List or discuss your favorite music

As noted in an above post, I too am a big Cowboy Junkies fan, and I like "The Caution Horses" as well as "The Trinity Sessions". If I were to make one music recommendation, it would be "Mai're Brennan", self titled CD and her follow-up disc "Perfect Time". Mz Brennan (1st name pronounced Moira) is the sister of "Enya", and also lead singer of the group Clannad. Her music, I suppose, could best be described as neo-celtic to Irish folk. Her ballads are especially beautiful and the recordings are well done. She now has a total of four CDs out, and all are excellent. I also really like Loreena McKennitt's music; and any blues from Delta to hi-NRG Chicago. On the MFSL label, John Lee Hooker (The Healer) does a duet with Bonnie Raitt (trk # 3) that has sent chills up and down my spine. Bonnie Raitt's slide guitar playing is as good as Ry Cooder's, and the recording is outstanding. Muddy Waters is another MFSL recording I really like.

Garfish: Which Loreena McKinnitt CD had the single that got so much radio airplay about a year and a half ago?

Albert or others, What's a good search pattern for LPs on e-bay. My try yesterday was frustrating and didn't yield anything good. I am interested in Classical and Jazz orginal recordings. Gerrym5

Hi Carl; re: L. McKennitt. I suspect the radio play was from her 1997 release "The Book of Secrets"-- a fantastic CD and my favorite (I don't know the track). I don't listen to much radio as I live well off the beaten path. I think I've got enough Celtic heritage that her music, especially the heavy percussion neo-celtic/new agey stuff, makes my blood race. Some think some of her music is paganistic, and she's gotten some criticism, but I think it's beautiful and stirring. L.Mc. actually lives in Canada, but of course has Celtic heiritage.

OK, thanks. I'll check it out.
