"Willie Fraser" by Natalie MacMaster

I love to dance! And I love Celtic music. But every time I try to put my feet in motion while performing on stage, I'm sure I look downright foolish. That is one thing you could NOT say about Natalie MacMaster. But then I haven't been step dancing from the age of five or playing the fiddle since the age of 9. Natalie MacMaster has, and her "Roots Are Showing" as a result. She has years of training and her love of Celtic music and music of Cape Breton, where she grew up, shows as is evidenced by her latest "Willie Fraser" an MP3 from from Natalie's latest album, "My Roots Are Showing".

I won't claim to be an expert on her music though. I saw her a year ago at a Chieftains concert. And she blew me away. Now listening to some of her free MP3s has me more amazed than ever. She is the Celtic Pop hero of our time, performing music that crosses musical boundaries from traditional to modern. And she has the vitality that is only heard in bubble gum pop, but here you have good music.

"Willie Fraser" is a great example. It's reel good toe tapper and I could almost see her step dancing along.

Natalie Merchant's success is growing in leaps in bounds and recently she won the "Roots/Traditional Solo Artist of the Year" awards at the 2000 East Coast Music Awards. Expect great things to come further from this hot Celtic artist.
