Loreena McDredlock


I've just been idly checking to see if there might be a new Loreena McKennitt album on its way, and discovered Free Napster's intriguing classification of this artiste:

Home > World/Reggae > Loreena McKennitt

Apparently, Loreena has a big surprise for us. Her tone is international, so why wouldn't she do an album with a reggae panache.

It's all part of the continuing connection between Jamaica and Scotland.

*laughs* thats an amusing classification.

As for idly checking, you can sign up for news on the Quinlan Road website.
Sometimes fairly important to get news of concerts ahead of time so you can get tickets.

Oooh! I wonder what she will look like with dreadlocks! Definitely a style departure for her.

Huh.

I was organising mp3s downloaded from eMusic last night with a "Multimedia Manager" and noticed much of the Irish/Scottish folk music had been tagged as "Reggae". The rest is "Country".

I'm sure it makes sense to someone.

Oh, and free.napster's classification of Irish singer Claire Roche's CD Journey, several of whose tracks have (to me) incomprehensibly and unpronounceably Gaelic titles, is:

Home > Album Americana > Claire Roche > Journey With Claire Roche [Album]

Americana?
