Question re Celtic/Irish/Chieftains music


This is a question for someone knowledgeable about Celtic/Irish toe-tappin' music of the kind played by The Chieftains. If you could have only one or two CDs of this music, the absolutely indispensable, desert-island choices you couldn't live without, what would they be? (And of course it would be nice if they were well engineered and had great sound.) Thanks.

This covers a wide range of music as the list above indicates.
One decent compilation that covers everything from traditional jigs and reels to contemporary songwriting and the link to American artists is Bringing It All Back Home from 1991-I'm not sure it is in still in print.
