Their only album with the legendary Tommy Peoples, the Bothy Band rewrote the rule books and started the Irish music revolution. This is the album that paved the way for the rest of these albums...

Tommy Peoples is the most revered Irish fiddler alive - Highly recommended!
Island AngelIsland Angel by Altan
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $2.73
It weren't for Lunasa, Altan would unarguably be the best Irish band going. As it is, it's a toss up. This is regarded as their best album.
OtherworldOtherworld by Lúnasa
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $6.27
Lunasa is doing all over again what the Bothies did 25 years ago - updating the rhythms, but keeping the melodies pure. The result is breathtaking; truly incredible!

Fantastic live set by the legendary Irish band. To bad these guys broke up.

Okay, so MacMaster isn't Irish, but the fact is: this gal rocks!
Lake EffectLake Effect by Liz Carroll

Liz Carroll is the best composer of new Irish tunes today. Besides that, her fiddling is more fun to listen to than just about anyone!

John William's music has great flair and passion. This album has got it all: intense reels and sweet, reflective airs. Great album!

Liz Carroll's first smash hit, this album is great! And I mean, really great!

Josephine Marsh's style is light, danceable, and very enjoyable!
Live in SeattleLive in Seattle by Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $6.48
Hayes' style is slow paced, emphasizing melody above all else. The result is heartfelt and lovely. You'll either love this or hate it - but I strongly recommend you find out.
Gentle Breeze: Celtic Music for Flute & WhistleGentle Breeze: Celtic Music for Flute & Whistle by Various Artists
Buy used from: $11.99
This CD is a great collection from Green Linnet. Track 5(featuring Seamus Egan) has to be heard to be believed! And the Matt Molloy track is the best I've heard from him. Great collection!
Blue FiddleBlue Fiddle by Sean Smyth
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $13.82
Sean Smyth (the leader of Lunasa) is my favorite fiddler! Track 8 is the most beautiful thing I've heard. Throughout, Smyth's fiddling is wonderful! Purist's may not like this album, though.
