Celtic Dreamland. CD. 32:35 min. Putumayo (putumayo.com). 2007. $14.98.

PreS-Gr 3–Ten renowned performers of Celtic music contribute melodic, tranquil folk pieces that will sooth  restless little ones to sleep, or provide quiet relaxation for older children and adults. Five of the songs are in Gaelic, three are in English, and two are instrumental. Among these excellent performers are Karen Matheson of Capercaillie and Seamus Egan of Solas. All the versatile musicians give superb vocal and instrumental performances on guitar, harp, piano, fiddle, and tin whistle. A hauntingly beautiful album that will enhance any library’s music collection.
