Beautiful voice, beautiful body, beautiful land.

That's Chloe Agnew of Celtic Woman, btw.

Wow, the acoustics are very good on that hill......

Meh. Technically perfect covers of classic songs. The stuff of PBS fund drives.

And now for something completely different from Hayley:

Celtic Woman is an interesting group ....

Loved "The Voice." That was evocative.

Beautiful body? Chloe?

I love Celtic Woman and I grant that Chloe has a lovely voice ... but she's fat.

Sorry, in my opinion, this is the single best version of Amazing Grace.

I just about wore out the vinyl on my dad's LP of this....

And a man in the desert would be critical of a glass of water?

Fat? Nay, curvy. I find her insanely attractive.

1:14. 2:15. 2:54 Wow. Chills. Thanks for that.

Maybe it's the vocals sung by beautiful women that gets me, then.

I had no idea Hayley Westenra was with Celtic Woman now, I'd only heard her solo stuff. Thanks for linking. Here's one of her better solo numbers, Across the Universe of Time. I listened to this a lot after I got back from Iraq hoping it'd help me sleep. Norah Jones and Enya too for that matter.

Never have liked Celtic Woman ever since I saw a concert of theirs on PBS that included the lyrics "we are one world"

I listened to one of their CDs once, it seemed like pseudo-celtic mumbo jumbo.

Flogging Molly, now...

Loreena McKennit pays tribute the Alfred Noyes' "The Highwayman"

Another one of those you can really enjoy sitting back with your (wet?) eyes closed.
