I agree with the last reviewer in that this is an excellent CD if one likes Celtic/modern fusion, as I do. This is one of those CDs that takes you to another place and makes you feel relaxed and good. It blends modern and traditional elements in a very complementary way. There are a variety of different types of Celtic music represented so it never gets monotonous and yet it all blends together very well. It's one of Putumayo's best compilations, in my opinion.

If Tarre was hoping for your old school, toe-tapping, do a little jig type Celtic music, that's probably why he/she was disappointed.

On the contrary, Celtic Crossroads is a beautiful blend of your current Celtic artists and their ability to take the "old flare" and blend it into a new sound.

One can't help but sing along with the lyrical pieces or find your heart wanting to dance along with the upbeat instrumentals.

This is an awesome collection and a great addition to my Celtic music library.

I have both Women of the World:Celtic I and II discs from Putumayo which are really enjoyable and a delight to listen to again and again. On Putumayo reputation and the word "Celtic" in the title, I bought this album without listening to a single track. Bad move, outside of the nice cover and liner this album is a huge disappointment. Listen to the sample tracks and see if you don't agree.
