Mary Jane Lamond (born 1960) is a Canadian Celtic folk musician who performs traditional Canadian Gaelic folk songs from Cape Breton Island. Her music combines traditional and contemporary material.

Although traditional Gaelic singers sang unaccompanied, Lamond 's pure, soaring vocals weave between the layers of sound supplied by her acoustic band. She glides from milling songs to laments, to jaunty dance numbers with equal skill. Two of the album's most striking songs illustrate Scottish life during ancient and contemporary times. The lament "The Battle of Inverlochy" dates from 1645 and details a woman who has lost her father, husband, four brothers, and three sons with dramatic pacing and a cappella power

Listen to the biggest hits from Mary Jane Lamond, including Seinn O, Bog a Lochain, Òran Do Ghille a Chaidh a Bhàthadh (On the Drowning of a Young Man), and more. Though her initial leap into fame came with the release of Ashley MacIssac's hit song, "Sleepy Maggie," on which she provided vocals in Scottish Gaelic, Mary Jane Lamond had been immersing herself in the music of her grandparents for quite some time.

Mary Jane Lamond is from my neck of the woods relatively speaking. The singer from Cape Breton Island made quite a name for herself more than a decade ago with a duet with then buzz fiddler Ashley MacIsaac. The song was a crossover hit in some circles but never really amounted to much in terms of sales and/or stardom. But it was her sweet Celtic style that seemed to make Atlantic Canada's knack for great Celtic music flourish. Lamond has returned with an album that sticks with - and yet breaks with - tradition all at once. The 11 songs on this album are quite fleshed out with Lamond's haunting, precious vocals the focal point from start to finish. Mairi Bhan Dhail an Eas ("Fair Mary from Dalness)" begins with an acoustic guitar and Lamond carrying the rather dark and mysterious melody. Like several of these songs, Lamond heard them from an older generation, with this one song taken from the Gaelic songbook An T-Oranaiche.

The album was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and indicated Megadeth's forthcoming emergence from the underground scene. So What! The Untouchable. The Untouchable is the fourth studio album by American rapper Scarface. The album was released on March 11, 1997, by Rap-a-Lot Records. Mary Jane Lamond (born 1960) is a Canadian Celtic folk musician who performs traditional Canadian Gaelic folk songs from Cape Breton Island. Born in Kingston, Ontario, she graduated from Westmount High School in Montreal and then the Celtic Studies program with a minor in Music at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

Mary Jane Lamond took time-honoured Gaelic songs to the next level on Suas e!, which combined classic texts with contemporary pop sounds. The Globe & Mail praised it for its refreshing balance between modern and ancient, and the album earned several Juno and East Coast Music award nominations, as well as a MuchMusic Global Groove Award for the video Bog a’Lochain. The success of Suas e! contributed to an explosion of interest in Celtic culture and Lamond took the songs on the road with a live band. Her experiences on the stage directly influenced the sound of Làn Dùil.
