Encaitare,

That is one of my favorite CDs. I had the great fortune of finding a folk music dealer who had "one or two " copies left. I got one of them, still shrinkwrapped, for a paltry fifteen bucks-- that is, for the original price; no scalping. Miraculous. Their elvish songs take a few listenings to grow on you; but I find they stand the test of time very, very well.

The only other elven songs I prefer to the Starlit Jewel versions are: Tra La La Lally by The Hobbitons (Hilarious!) and THe Lay of Nimrodel and Legolas' Song of Lebennin by The Tolkien Ensemble. THeir Legolas totally rules, and their Aragorn is fabulous too IMO.

Best Hobbit: Hobbitons (also out of production, woe is us.)

Have you checked out the Music Reviews thread?
