Any stellar performances of Irish music...


...by female vocalists?

Hi,

I realize that Sinead O'Connor, Cara Dillion, and even Haley Westenra have all performed traditional Irish songs that are exemplary, but unfortunately, none are available on vinyl. Do you know of any that are?

You'll probably have to look on the used market for Irish and Celtic music on vinyl. Pure Pleasure has reissued some Mary Black albums (Babes in the Wood and Full Tide) and these may still be available through some retailers.

I did a quick check of used Celtic vinyl on the Acoustic Sounds web site and they currently offer two of the better Chieftain albums among their used vinyl: Chieftains 1 and Bonaparte's Retreat (all instrumental, though).

If it would be helpful to start listing some very good Irish, Scottish and Welsh Celtic LPs, various of us could start that up for you. If you specifically want recommendations for women singers, please say so to narrow the suggestions.

Tear's of Stone, Chieftains and many other Irish artists. It does not get any better then that. Enjoy the music.
