This latest release from this Canadian superstar takes her music to new horizons, incorporating pop, jazz, and even Latin influences, while creating some of the most vital and exciting new Celtic music being performed today. This album will make Natalie MacMaster a household name in the U.S. The title track features Natalie's vocal debut on both spoken word and backing vocals, over a seductively hypnotic beat. Special guest Alison Krauss sings the gorgeous ballad, &quot;Get Me Through December,&quot; and other tracks feature instrumental contributions from Sharon Shannon (accordion), Mark O'Connor (fiddle), Jesse Cooke (guitar) and members of Holly Cole's band.]]></atom:content></atom:entry><atom:entry><atom:title>Blueprint</atom:title><atom:id>http://nataliemacmaster.afropopshop.org/#album_7478</atom:id><atom:updated>2005-04-12T10:55:32Z</atom:updated><atom:link href="http://nataliemacmaster.afropopshop.org/#album_7478"/><atom:summary>Music from Blueprint</atom:summary><atom:content type="html"><![CDATA[<img src='http://files.afropopshop.org/images/7478/blueprint.jpg'>MacMaster is once again pushing the boundaries for traditional music, fusing her brilliant Cape Breton fiddling with the sounds of Banjo, Dobro and Mandolin.
