Reviews
Part of the reliable "Third Ear" series (see also Alternative Rock, LJ 2/15/01), this glossy guide to the "Celtic" genre will appeal to both fanatics and newcomers. The form, or "brew," as editor Mathieson puts it, has a singular identity created by fusion with strains of rock, jazz, techno, and trance. A regular contributor to Jazzwise magazine, Mathieson presents a readable historical overview of Celtic music from the 1960s, which saw the folk and traditional music revival, to the present. He forewarns readers that this is not a history of folk or traditional music or of the Celts. In the spirit of the music's roots-rich heritage, this work uses a geographical organization that encompasses Ireland; Scotland; Wales, the Isle of Man, and England; Cape Breton; Brittany; and Celtic Iberia (parts of Spain and Portugal). Artists associated with a particular region are discussed by experts in the field. Very nicely illustrated with more than 150 album covers and several color photographs of performers, this also features a useful artist index and suggestions (though limited) for further reading or research. A solid and inexpensive purchase for public libraries as well and a useful selection for comprehensive world music collections. David M. Turkalo, Suffolk Univ. Law Lib., Boston
