Funniest "Celtic" Album Ever?
I saw this when Henry and I were hanging out at Borders last week, I've been meaning to post it ever since. It's the two volume CD set Celtic: The Essential 30 Collection.
Now, it's hard enough to imagine an "Celtic Essential 30" collection that doesn't have even a single track from Planxty, the Bothy Band, the Chieftains, the Dubliners, Lunasa, Silly Wizard, Old Blind Dogs, or pretty much any Irish, Scottish or Welsh band you could name. Nor does it include any tunes at all, as far as I can tell from the track listing.
What does it have then? Four tracks from the Albion Band, three from Pentagle, two from Magna Carta, one from Fairport Convention. What do those bands have in common? They are all English bands.
Wow, I think someone was really unclear on the concept....
