I got two new Capercaillie CDs in the mail from Amazon last night: Delirium and Beautiful Wasteland! Absolutely beautiful as all their CDs, but think of the two I am partial to Beautiful Wasteland!
I finally, finally got my "To the Moon" CD. This has been back ordered since Christmas and I can see why it was on back order. This CD is excellent. I could listen to it all day and night. It is so wonderful!
We've got to quit meeting like this! My wife might get jealous!
Once again I find that we have a common interest! I love Capercaillie also. I have 6 of their albums:
Crosswinds Sidewaulk Beautiful Wasteland To the Moon Dusk Till Dawn The Best of... Nàdurra
Of the 6, I think Beautiful Wasteland is my faorite also! Some of my favorite songs are Fisherman's Dream, M'Ionam, Níl sí I nGrá, Ailein Duinn, The Price of Fire`, Coisich A Ruin, Outlaws, Waiting For the Wheel to Turn, and Mi Le M' Uilinn from Karen's solo album (which I don't have yet, but hope to get!)
It's really cool when I sit down to listen to one of their Gaelic songs and suddenly a word or lyric that I never understood before becomes clear to me! Makes me kinda glad to be a' learning the Gaelic!

'S i Alba tìr mo chridhe. 'S i Gàidhlig cànan m' anama. Scotland is the land of my heart. Gaelic is the language of my soul.
Hey! My husband may get jealous too! But it is great running into you!
I have 6 of Capercaillie's CDs too!
I have Dusk till Dawn, The Best of.... Beautiful Wasteland Too the Moon -- my favorite The 45 -- my favorite Delirium And one I cannot remember the name of, but it is mostly reels and such.
Do you like Runrig? I love them too! Have about 5 of their CDs as well.
I've only heard one or two of Runrig's songs, not really enough to form an opinion just yet, and those were a long time ago... Know of any sites were I can here a song or two?
I forgot to list one of my other favorite Caperaillie song, Muladach Mi Is Mi Air M'Aineol. This is one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and probably my favorite. I like to sing it to babies!
Allen, just look up on google for Runrig and that will take you to their site. You can also access some of their music on Amazon.com. I bet you would love their music too.
I also bet with your knowledge of Gaelic you can sing along with Capercaillie and Runrig!
I will look up the Runrig site when I have some time! You're right, I do enjoy singing along with Capercaillie! And Mary Jane Lamond! Even though I don't always understand all of the words, its great pronunciation practice for me!
