Call me Goldilocks?
I'm looking for some middle-of-the-road alternative celtic fusion music, not as saccharine as Celtic Women, or folksy as Cherish the Ladies, or too authentic/traditional as I don't know who (not looking for historical music), or too hard as the Dropkick Murphys as I think they are. It's got to be juuuust right. More in the neighborhood of the Seven Nations. What else ya got?
Regards,
Rex.
At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

Dearest Goldilocks
I would suggest that perhaps you look into the Hooligans, as they are not as heavy as the Drop Kick Murphys to my ear anyway. We saw them at the Loch Norman Highland Games and had to buy the latest CD I'd recommend their version of The Gael which you can listen to on their myspace page here. The band are members of X-Marks as well and go by the name That Celtic Band.
A few other choices would be the Canadian group The Glengarry Bhoys, or perhaps the Scottish Rogues, Empty Flask, the list goes on. I think these may be just right.
Yours

You might check out a Putumayo compilation called Celtic Crossroads, Peatbog Fairies also comes to mind.

if you are not specifically looking for scottish oriented music, you may want to try the pogues. they've got a large body of work of music available and although their lyrics and instrumentation are predominantly irish, they could possibly satisfy your current craving. they run the gamut from rock, pop, ballads and traditional arrangements as well as numerous songs infusing world elements such as middle-eastern, spanish, asian...
they have their share of scot's inspired work (down all the days and a man you don't meet everyday are two that spring to mind), but most of their canon is devoted to the urban irish and immigrant experience. it's great stuff, though.
itunes seems to have their entire catalog. heck, pm me your postal address and i'll send you disk of selections.

Hi Rex,
You might want to consider Barleyjuice and Gaelic Storm.

Rex, I heard Geal Warning at Savannah and they were really good. In the middle of the road if ya know what I mean. I'm like you when it comes to music.

Hi Rex,
You might also try Dougie Maclean and Golden Bough.

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul is pretty good too. She has guitars and percussion and does a wide variety from Traditional,Afro-celtish to jazzy/rock songs. I saw her live a few years back and the band was super.
Cheers,
Scott

Ashley MacIsaac might fit your bill, but most of his stuff could be too strong.
Worth listening to in order to find the right time for listening.
