Loreena McKennitt's debut recording and Quinlan Road's inaugural release, Elemental, displays the artist's first foray into the realm of Celtic music. Like all her subsequent recor dings, this album was self-produced, and it was recorded one week in July, 1985 in a barn in Southern Ontario amongst a field of sunflowers. Elemental's nine tracks showcase McKennitt's talents as a singer and harpist with fresh and memorable arrangements of traditional favourites, and musical settings of poems by Yeats and Blake. Its featured guests include renowned actor and folk musician Cedric Smith and esteemed Shakespearean actor Douglas Campbell.
