Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Beyond the Stacks - Aly Bain and Ale Moller
$12.99
(cdRoots# ns-6094)
Scottish fiddle master Bain and Swedish multi-instrumentalist Möller have been exploring the Nordic roots of Scottish music together for over ten years, and this is the second CD to come from this collaboration. Mostly fiddle/mandola duets are a culmination of Bain's extensive research into the Scandinavian history behind so much of the traditional music of his native Shetland Islands, and Möller's creative arrangements. It is a masterpiece of understatement, a relaxed session between friends who anticipate oneanother's every phrase and respond with passion. Highly recommended.
Fully Rigged - Aly Bain and Ale Moller
$11.99
(cdRoots# ns-6064)
Shetland Islands meet Malmo, Sweden in a fully satisfying merger of genius.
Oasis - Frigg

Linnaeus Vasen - Vasen
$14.99
(cdRoots# ns-6093)
On the 300th anniversary of the birth of botanist, physician and zoologist Carl Linnaeus, known as the father of modern taxonomy, Väsen was commissioned to arrange music to mark the occassion. Virtually all of the source material they used is traditional music from the period and region of Linnaeus's life, including pieces writted by his brother-in-law and by a cousin, and pieces newly rediscovererd on Linneaus's own restored "barrel organ." The trio invoited their percussion collaborator André Ferrari to join them on the quartet's first new studio album since 1999.
Morgonstjarna - Ranarim
$12.99
(cdRoots# ns-rana06)
Morgonstjärna (Morning Star) is the 2007 Northside release by this wonderful Swedish new-folk ensemble. This is their third recording, and it continues their explorations of traditional and newly composed Swedish folk music. Ranarim creates its own unique sound with vocals, keyed fiddle, guitar, bass fiddle and percussion.
Kaksi! - Hedningarna
$12.99
(cdRoots# ns-6007)
Cliff says: 'The best Hedningarna album ever made.' The core Swedish trio added two Finnish female vocalists, Sanna Kurki-Suonio and Tellu Paulasto (now Tellu Virkkala), and the resulting mix of cultures was nothing short of revolutionary when the album was released in 1992. This mix of Swedish, Finnish, vocals, instrumentals, traditional folk and contemporary rock forever changed the face of Nordic roots-rock music. Includes a bonus track not available on the original release.
Artology - JPP
$12.99
(cdRoots# tex-artology)

$13.99
(cdRoots# ns-boine8)
Boine's most high-tech recording to date, relying heavily on synthesizers and drum loops, will probably make this her most popular recording in a while.

(cdRoots# ns-harv05)
Swedish fiddlers Magnus Stinnerbom and Daniel Sandén Warg have expanded Harv into a quartet for this 2005 release, with percussionist Christian Svensson and guitarist David Tallroth broading their sound without drowning out the roots of the music. Listen!
