Nicholas Gunn's CDs are always to be savoured, not least because of the rich variety of sounds that can be enjoyed within his music.
His latest travels take him to Yellowstone, and here he captures the sounds that make this location so special.
This CD is a pleasure to listen to from start to finish. I enjoyed all the tracks, but a special mention must go to track 3, "Seeking Serenity", which is extremely beautiful. Here, Gunn utilises just piano and flute, and ends up with a stunning and most relaxing piece.
The insert is nicely illustrated, and again a portion of the proceeds from this album goes directly to the preservation of
Yellowstone.
A worthwhile addition to my collection.

What a pleasant surprise to find a new CD by Mr. Gunn while out shopping. Was amazed to find it on the release day, so I figured it was destiny to make the purchase.
I am a big fan of his earlier work, but felt he started to lose his way over the last few albums, but I must say, this new CD is a return to form!
First off, the artwork and liner notes are very tasteful and informative, but of course, it's the music that brilliantly shines! A lot more focus and passion shines through, especially on tracks like "Black Dragon's Cauldron" and on "Sunrise in Hayden Valley". But, my absolute favorite has to be the song "Nature's Cry." It has a very driving beat, a great melody, and is easily one of my favorite songs by this artist! If he stays in this direction, then I'll be happy! All in all, a very solid offering! I recommend it!

After years of buying Nicholas Gunn titles, this record at last gives a sense of departure from his previous releases. Although this title is in keeping with his sound, this is the start of a new direction for Nicholas as he uses different instrumentation in track 4 "Rebirth" and track 6 "Nature's Cry". I highly recommend this title to anyone who wants to relax but stay focused on the music.

Ahhh, to listen to this music is to
revisit Yellowstone....a place that
I have visited often and love dearly.
I highly recommend this music.
Relax and enjoy the beauty.

I do love this CD, as well as most all of Nicholas Gunn music, BUT "The Sacred Fire" is still his best work...in my opinion. If you can only buy one...get The Sacred FIre. If you already have that one, this is a nice addition.
