Just 'cause . . . When I was a music buyer, back before everyone had little wires sticking out of their ears and talked to themselves in public, I looked forward to the holiday season with a mixture of excitement and dread. Dread for the coming of the lines, the lost souls who only ventured into record stores once a year armed with lists of dead-on music descriptions like "the Bon Jovi record with the blue cover, New Kids Edition, and some piano Christmas thing by a steam...

Following the trail of the Celts from herstory in Canada, Loreena found that the Celts were a wide reaching and multi-tribed bunch extending across Europe and into Asia Minor from about 500 BC onward. From her travels to Italy, Greece, China, Mongolia, Siberia, Turkey, Spain, etc, she found there is a great swath of time and geography from which to draw and learn. Like the travels through time and her travels to these places, Loreena's musical journey has brought t... MORE

In our house, we are very excited at the upcoming Nov. 21 release of Lorrena McKennitt's "An Ancient Muse" “Tell me, O Muse, of those who travelled far and wide” Aptly, it is an echo of Homer’s timeless Odyssey that introduces Loreena McKennitt’s seventh studio recording, the latest volume of a project she describes as “musical travel writing”. This time, the journey takes her in search of the Celts’ easternmost paths, from the plains of Mongolia to the kingdom of ... MORE

This autumn will see the release of Loreena McKennitt’s seventh full-length studio album, An Ancient Muse, worldwide. As with her earlier albums, McKennitt takes her inspiration from the Celtic peoples, fusing the melodic sensibility of Scottish and Irish balladry with musical traditions from Greece, Turkey, Spain and even Scandinavia. The recording is McKennitt’s first ... MORE

Penelope's Song
I am in the grueling process of getting my next book, "Beloved," a novel about a young woman who discovers what family, war, country and swordfighting mean to her (I'm still working on my "elevator quote.") ready for publication. I was correcting the manuscript the other night while listening to Loreena McKennit's new album, and "Penelope's Song" came on. That's when I heard the lines: Now that the time has comeSoon gone is the dayThere upon some distant shoreYou’ll he... MORE
