Loreena McKennitt ~ She rocks, I've got a bunch of her albums. My favorite is The Mask and Mirror. She is one of those I wish I could see in concert. But every time I heard she was playing it was always to late.
I finally got to see her live here in Nashville two years ago. It was absolutely exquisite, somewhere I have a review of the show, it was on the old site's archives. You can get a DVD now of a show she did at The Alhambra last year, highly recommended and her present Christmas CD is gorgeous. Her band was perfection incarnate! The Mask and The Mirror is also my favorite, I love how she blended all of the Middle Eastern modes into the generally Celtic feel and threw in some electricity.
