Putuymayo's Celtic Crossroads is a hit-or-miss affair that nevertheless manages to successfully expose potential listeners to a genre that's often more infuriating than inspiring.

Both harpist Emer Kenny, whose impossibly sensual voice gives her thoroughly modern rendition of the barroom classic "Parting Glass" a whole new shade of smokiness, and the wince-inducingly named Keltic Elektrik, whose upbeat, trip-hop version of "Wild Mountain Thyme" is so celebratory and infectious that it makes the original sound like a funeral dirge, help this collection to rise above the generic, adult contemporary pap of Capercaillie and Michael McGoldrick. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
