"Ripe and Bearded Barley" by Coyote Run

Inspired by the rich history and heritage of their hometown - Williamsburg, Virginia - Coyote Run's music tells soaring tales of battle, love, loss, and the joy of living. Coyote Run draws from the deep wells of Celtic, warrior, and maritime traditions in crafting their music. They play a range of instruments and all sing. Their sound is clean, powerful, and rich, and their music appeals to all ages.

Take for instance "Ripe and Bearded Barley". This song celebrates the harvest season and the gathering of the barley which brought so much life and merriment to a community. The words to this song are very old, coming from a traditional English folk song. The music has a nice dance feel to it with a well-thought out arrangement and beautiful vocals.

One thing that strikes me as really amazing while listening to their MP3s is that the music seems very personal. There's an instant connection between listener and performer that a lot of bands only dream to accomplish. If their live performances are as personal as their albums, then keep an eye for this band on folk music circuit.

"Lord Inchiquin" by John Sheehan

John Sheehan is a Composer/Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter from Ringwood, NJ. Sincere listeners of his music have compared him to such diverse artists as; Leo Kottke, Jorma Kaukonen, Mark Knophler, Michael Hedges, John Prine, Steve Earle, and Jimmy Buffett, but John gives credit to J.S. Bach and John Fahey as well as many more. While not a regular performer of Celtic music, he has arranged some exquisite guitar instrumentals including an arrangement of "Lord Inchiquin".

This song is traditionally performed on the harp as it was composed by the famous harper Turlough O'Carolan. John does an great job bringing to life the O'Carolan's music. So well, in fact, that the song has spent a bit of time at the top of the folk charts. And he is many more O'Carolan tunes in the work.
