5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely loved this CD, June 17, 2000

This CD breaks the rules. Most compilation CDs aren't really that good---there's some songs that are wonderful, and some that are just plain bad. All of the songs on this CD are wonderful. Songs like "The Gaberlunzieman" and "Are Ye Sleepin', Maggie?" give a fresh voice to these Celtic songs. Buy this CD---it's a great introduction to the best of what's out there in traditional Celtic music.

3.0 out of 5 stars This isn't a bad collection, especially as an introduction, September 12, 2002

I bought this after recieving the follow-up (Celtic Women of the World II) as a gift. While I did enjoy it, and a few of the songs were fabulous, the second collection far outstrips this one. It is, however, a solid introduction to celtic music and I do recommend it. The only real problem with anthologies is that it can occasionally be difficult to track down some of the more obscure artists who were represented on the CD--I'll simply have to content myself with the selections on this CD.

This CD is currently discontinued and really hard to find, my original copy was loaned out and never returned. I was so thrilled that I found it on your site. The ordering process was really easy, as usual. My CD arrived to my home in Hawaii, in a little under a week, and though it was a used CD, it is in excellent condition. THANK YOU!
