Although Great Big Sea initially started out as a fairly traditional Newfoundland outfit, Up shows the band adding more rock muscle to the fiddles and accordions. It's still a pretty traditional sound by most standards, with jigs and reels galore, but it allows the band to do a revved-up cover of Slade's "Run Runaway" and make it appealing to both the traditionalist and the rock fan. There's everything you'd expect from a bunch of young Maritime musicians from Canada: a good dose of Celtic, songs about the sea and about drinking, a good dose of fun, but a healthy reverence for the musical tradition. "Mari-Mac," where the lyrics accelerate to a terrifying speed by the end, is worth the price of admission alone. ~ Sean Carruthers

$6.35
Narada Records has a long history of brilliant world music compilations and Christmas samplers, and this enjoyable, joyous yet often poignant gathering of Celtic music's brightest stars adds another beautiful ornament to that evergreen tree. The key to any successful musical smorgasbord is variety, and this celebration of the holidays in Ireland offers that in abundance. Cathie Ryan's folksy "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" opens the disc whimsically, while Kathy Mattea's rich, soulful voice imparts the "Christ Child's Lullabye" with a convincing refrain of "Hallelujah!" and simple, hypnotic guitar accompaniment. ...

| | 100 Percent Celtic CDs (2009)
Up
$22.79
The five-disc 100 Percent Celtic collection features 100 songs that range from Celtic folk to pop, all from relatively obscure artists who fail to capture the pioneering spirit of the genre. While the performances are adequate, there's a corporate sheen that permeates the entire affair, bringing to mind the kind of music one would imagine hearing at an Irish-themed pub somewhere in the American suburbs, festooned with cardboard shamrocks, Budweiser banners, and a single, solitary Irishman behind the bar weeping as he pours a table of college students in oversized leprechaun hats ...
