Good of you to remember Old Blind Dogs!! Their newest CD-The World's Room-is really fantastic...content is still pretty traditional for the most part, but they do put a wee bit of an unusual "swing" to some of it...new members Jim Malcom (vocals& harmonica) and Rory Campbell (PIPES!!) add an interesting new dimension to OBDs sound!
My personal absolute favorite Celtic Stuff that no one has mentioned yet: SONGS: Queen of Argyll--Silly Wizard Donald Mcgillivry--Silly Wizard Erin Go Bragh--Dick Gaughan Both Sides The Tweed--Dick Gaughan (Actually the whole flippin' HANDFUL OF EARTH Cd by Dick Gaughan...) Iain Glen Cuich---Capercaille The Turning Away---Dougie MacLean Caledonia--Dougie MacLean The Collier's Recruit--Kate Rusby (from Sharpe soundtrack) John Barleycorn Must Die--Traffic (oops, that's the "classic rock" version- sorry, but most of my mixes contain a bit of militant eclecticsim anyway...) Today--Iona (from "Beyond These Shores" CD, if anyone has heard of this I'll be amazed)
TUNES: Dr Ross's Welcome to the 50th Argyllshire Gathering--Tannahill Weavers (might have #wrong, and I think the title is the main reason I like this tune, but excellent piping nonetheless!;-)) Islay Charms Set--Tannahill Weavers Onward Blindly Onward--Rare Air (Canadian pipers who really rock celtic trad, and do some weird space piper stuff as well!!)
Also Check out WOLFSTONE...some of their earlier stuff is really nice tunes-wise,pipes, whistles and great guitar work!
