Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

 Explore - Alan Stivell $18.99 (cdRoots# hm-k3104)
Stivell and his group explore the traditional music of Britanny in a thoroughly contemporary setting on this 2006 release, modulating his trademark Celtic harp and vocals with the group sound using bass, pipes, guitar, vocalists and a significant amount of electronic programming. This is the Breton experimenter's 22nd album in a career spanning five decades.
 Dublin (National Stadium - Live) - Alan Stivell $18.99 (cdRoots# hm-k3100)
This 1975 live recording was probably the best example of what Stivell was all about: a big, brash, sometime a bit pompous sound from a big band of harps, binou, pipes, organs, bass and drums, utilizing Breton themes in a way no one else at the time was doing, to make a stadium-rock folk music.
 Tir Na Nog - Symphonie Celitque - Alan Stivell $18.99 (cdRoots# hm-k3101)
In 1979, Stivell changed the landscape of French folk-experimentation with this audacious 2 LP 'Celtic Symphony.'
 Turbulences - Alain Pennec $17.99 (cdRoots# klm-101)
 Une Petite Lanterne - Alain Genty $18.99 (cdRoots# klm-152)

This is big, high-production music, using vague folk roots to create a broad cinematic sound. While it's not for folkies, these things actually work once in a while, and genty seems to have succeeded.

 An Droug Hirnez - Yann-Fanch Perroches $temp out of stock-17.99 (cdRoots# klm-79)
Yann-Fanch Perroches offers an elegant look at the Breton buttonbox on this release. Formerly of Skolvan and a member of the remarkable Cocktail Diatonique, he plays the accordeon diatonique with amazing subtlety and skill. Joined by Glidas Boclés on double bass, Didier Squiban on piano and many others, this is an exploratory and revealing piece of work.
