Product description
Doug Cameron - Celtic Crossroads: The Uncharted Path
Amazon.com
Doug Cameron is a very versatile violinist who is adept at practically every style of music from jazz to classical to pop. On Celtic Crossroads he uses his eclectic influences as the starting point for some imaginative settings for this collection of old Irish tunes, original compositions, and modern songs. Cameron is at his best when he avoids the electronic fusion of tracks like "Dublin Groove" and "Reel Around the Sun (Cameron Hip-Hip Version)" and sticks to a more acoustic sound. Selections like "Drowsie Maggie" and "The Jig Set" show that he has a real flair for lively dance tunes, and would be a welcome visitor to any pub session. And on "Heart of Ireland" he proves he can milk a sentimental melody with the best of them. Although this is supposed to be a Celtic collection it does include versions of some contemporary pop songs, including Sarah Brightman's "Time to Say Goodbye" and the theme song from Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On," which features synthesized whale calls, an odd choice of sound for a song from a movie about a sunken ship. Celtic Crossroads features a mix of styles including Latin, jazz, and pop, but when Cameron just hunkers down and plays it straight, he shows real flashes of Irish spirit. --Michael Simmons

Discovered Doug's music by accident and so glad I did, what a wonderful "fiddle" player, and you can tell he has "Celtic" roots in his blood, as he plays the Celtic music with the same passion as the Chieftans, and many other of those wonderful Irish musicians.................:)

I came across this cd when I was looking for a version of "Lord of the Dance." When I found out that I couldn't download just that one song, after listening to clips of the rest of the songs I knew that it sounded good. I absolutely love it! I'm so glad I came across this. It's funny because since getting the cd I have heard some of the songs elsewhere (not his versions), but I know them. At Las Vegas, the Bellagio fountains performed to "Time to Say Goodbye" and I heard "Mason's Apron" a summer ago by a bagpiper.
As one who loves Celtic music, I was thoroughly delighted with this album. Doug Cameron is a marvelous fiddler/violinist. I had never heard any of his music prior to the purchase of this CD. The performances, the arrangements, the musicians are first-rate. Doug performs the music of many great artists: Enya, Loreena McKennitt, The Corrs, Celine Dion, Andreas Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. 'Time to Say Goodbye', as arranged by Doug, becomes thoroughly Celtic, and along with 'My Heart Will Go On', are among the most beautiful instrumental arrangements of these songs. Doug wrote 'John Jr.' as a tribute to JFK, Jr. It is a gorgeous piece produced by David Foster. By the way, 'Time to Say Goodbye' and 'My Heart Will Go On' were performed on a Stradivarius violin that was made in 1714! Kudos to Doug Cameron and the Higher Octave team for this beautiful Celtic-inspired recording. Highly recommended.
I hadn't heard of Doug before this purchase (cd was playing at [a store] and I absolutely had to have it). Doug's music lifts the mind and spirit. In this cd he has taken a blend from Riverdance, The Corrs, Enya, Titanic, Lorena McKennitt and has done a splended rendition of all. This cd will get your feet moving (even if you are sitting in your car during rush hour traffic in the Chicago suburbs). A definate must have to your Celtic collection.
When I bought this album, I was only interested in two songs. after I listened to all of the songs, I totally love this album and Doug cameron. What a talented violinist! "Mummer's Dance" is very captivating and an emotional track. Another favorite is "Runaway". As a fan of the Corrs, I like his version of the song. All I can say is that this album is too magnificent! I am a fan of cameron now.
