I saw a news story running several times yesterday on CNN about Loreena McKennitt hitting the pop "big time" with her lastest recording. In light of all the other news of yesterday, it was interesting to see this story about celtic/world/pop music. Along with Enya as the soundtrack for TV ads, is this the tip of the iceberg for singer/songwriters with Celtic roots? Is this the beginning manifestation of Chet's "what if?" It still seems to have to be studio produced with that driving wall of sound. As the news reporter said, "it has a beat and you can dance to it". alice, mt
