More new adds for the Online Folk Festival:
- Joe Mannix – A Town By The Sea
- Erik Balkey – My Sacred Heart
- Hope Machine – March
- The Mad Maggies – Magdalena’s Revenge
Added tracks from 3 new albums to the Online Folk Festival over the weekend:
- The Possum Trot Orchestra – Harbor Road
- Junction Pool – Junction Pool
- The Wyrd Sisters – Wholly
I’m really making an effort to get through the black hole that has become my backlog of CDs to listen to.
I’m really impressed with the Junction Pool CD. They bill themselves as Celtic Big Band, and they add some really nice jazz touches to traditional Celtic music, including a horn section and some very cool jazz chord progressions that one would not typically find in traditional music. For those that like music that fuses elements of different genres and traditions, this is a group worth checking out and following – this is their debut CD.

Still sorting through the holiday mail and purchases after being in Florida for a week, so if you sent me something to preview, it may be a little while yet.
I added tracks today from a few CDs received or bought over the holiday period:
- Lynn Miles – Love Sweet Love
- Yusuf – An Other Cup
- JJ Cale and Eric Clapton - The Road to Escondido
- Loreena McKennitt – An Ancient Muse
I also received the new Byrds box set for Christmas, so you’ll be hearing some tracks from that soon, as well as the new Joan Osborne and some Celtic music from Éamonn Coyne & Kris Drever. I imagine that I’ll start receiving a flurry of Celtic music in the mail over the next few weeks, as a lot of Celtic bands release in the beginning of the year in time for St. Pat’s. I also received the new 3-CD Live from Studio A Volume 10 set from WCBE, and you’ll be hearing new live tracks from The Kennedys, Chris Smither, and some other great artists. I also lucked into a 2-CD Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver retrospective CD for $3.99 while in Florida, so you’ll be hearing some tracks from that one soon, too.
