Exploring more traditional forms of Celtic music, Loreena McKennitt's brilliant 2024 release The Road Back Home marks an inspired return to her roots. The album features 10 songs, including many pieces that date back to McKennitt's earliest days on the folk circuit and which have remained unrecorded until now. Although recognized today as a cultural cross-pollinator and a ground-breaking leader of the contemporary Celtic Music scene, McKennitt's journey began in the humble folk clubs and the nascent festival scenes of her childhood home in Western Canada.
