There are thousands of people every day who scour the net looking for the best Celtic music to buy. This list was compiled to highlight CDs by Celtic artists that were purchased at CD Baby in 2006 through the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine, Celtic Music CD Store, Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, and our affiliates. CD Baby is the #1 store online for independent Celtic music.
1. The Circle - Compilation CD (Bob Brinkman from Modern Bard and Marc Gunn from Renaissance Festival Podcast/Celtic MP3s Music Magazine) A Renaissance Festival compilation CD--benefits hurricane Katrina relief and is spectacular! 22 tracks by various artists. This was such a great CD--it's a must in anyone's collection.
2. An Ancient Muse by Loreena McKennitt Long-awaited, and worth it. McKennitt doesn't break new ground, but stands firm and sounds gorgeous.
8. Live From Dublin 2006 by Christy Moore Can't believe a live CD makes my top ten 2 years running. This is a nice one though, and if you like Christie Moore--there is a lot here...2 discs!

Top 10 Celtic Music Reviews and Celtic Music Articles of March 2006
Every now and then, I like to find out what people are looking for when they come to the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine website. I find that useful for catering the site to what people want. Admittedly, this Celtic music site will always focus on independent Celtic music first. But it still nice to see.
For instance, the vast majority of people visiting the site are looking for signed artists like Michael Flately, Van Morrison, The Dubliners, The Chieftains, The Clancy Brothers and Moya Brennan.
But I'd suggest you check out the other two in that top list: Ceann and Doc Grazuer. Now THAT is impressive because those two are totally independent of any Celtic music record label!
The following articles were published on the website and as you can see there were a lot of people in March looking for free music downloads and anything St. Patrick related. And here you will find a bunch of great free music downloads, plus some interesting tidbits about Celtic music.
