  Anglo-Celtic Music in the United States
American country music is a music with roots firmly within the Anglo-Celtic musical tradition brought to the United States by settlers emigrating from Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall, Wales and England.
It was a music which was valued by the newly arrived settlers both for its use in praising god (often in a micro-tonal heterophony which would have done honor to any cult of the Mid-east) and for its undoubtable capacity to provide the atmosphere and rhythm for dancing and celebration.
This music, generally sung in a somewhat impassive, plaintive and subdued manner (influenced by the Southern blues "yodeling" vocal style of Jimmie Rodgers - the 'father' of commercial country music), was accompanied by the "Western Swing" beat (a straight forward, "bouncing", non-syncopated beat with heavy backbeat accents on 2 and 4).

 The Thistle & Shamrock Newsletter Article: Connie Dover   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Let me be the first to say that I live outside of the cultural stereotype that many people associate with Celtic music (which can be unsettling for listeners who might imagine that I live in a vine-covered cottage, wear lacy dresses and sip tea!).
The beauty of being a singer of Celtic music in the United States is that we have a richly varied culture from which we can draw our own interpretations of the music.
To continue this tradition is to forge another link in a chain of gritty and tenacious music that has survived generations of battering and an on-going Trans-Atlantic migration, and has (finally) managed to capture the imagination of the 20th Century listener.

 RICKIE LEE JONES : BIOGRAPHY | V2 MUSIC : UNITED STATES
Quite a contention, considering a career marked by audacious musical leaps beginning in 1979 with her era-defining debut, Rickie Lee Jones and continuing through such landmark recordings as Pirates (1981), The Magazine (1984), Flying Cowboys (1989), and Ghostyhead (1997), her last foray into original songwriting.
There is a great tradition of protest music, from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan and I’m naïve enough to believe that a song actually can change conditions.
It was an endeavor, Rickie recounts, which required steadfast discipline and the exercise of dormant musical muscles.

For them, the question is not so much whether or not the United States should exercise world power, but how that power is used to influence the political, military and economic policies of other countries, especially those of the so-called Third World.
Although the Cold War and its end have framed these recent debates, the issues involved have much deeper roots in U.S. political traditions and were thoroughly debated at the turn of the century as the United States was just beginning to gain its world power status.

She also talks about Celtic Wicca, which I didn't actually think was necessary; for me the Celtic lore would have been enough, but of course this would be an added plus for those interested in following the Wiccan path.
She also has a recommended reading list and a list of favorite Celtic music titles which I found to be very helpful.
What I particularly enjoyed was the fact that modern celtic traditions were mentioned, as well as the what the future might hold for these traditions.
