After listening to this newest CD I now realize why I love Joanne's music. From the first time I heard her music and how it compelled me to talk the storeowner into selling me the demonstration CD, the only one he had, convincing him that I had to have it now. Then I went to search out and find all of her existing music to add to my collection. It is not hard to understand why she has won so many accolades and awards. This newest album is a weaving of her past magic into a new medicine bundle of music. Listening to the healing that comes forth only makes me yearn for what comes next.

I am new to Joanne Shanandoah. So I wanted to get a good "example" of her music. By reading other reviews on Amazon I decided to buy this specific CD. I loved it. The songs are very powerful and her voice is divine. I wanted to start my collection of Joanne with music on her native tongue. And that is one of the reasons I purchased this CD. Now I want to buy a CD where she sings in English.

This is the first CD that I buy of Joanne Shenandoah. It was I great surprise not just for the quality of the production but for the unique sweet voice Joanne has to sing this king of songs. To those who are looking for new experience into this kind of music it is high recommended.

I was lucky enough to see Joanne Shenandoah at the Indian Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI last year. She took my breath away. My friend bought this CD and we just took a trip up to the North Woods this weekend and listened to it. WOW! It is so beautiful! Each and every song is a beautiful melody to your ears and soul. I loved listening to it so much I'm buying my own copy (along with a couple of other CD's by Joanne) from Amazon today.

If you ever get a chance to see this beautiful woman sing in person-GO AND SEE HER! She shares her tradition and family on stage along with her lovely music.

I actually have spent many an evening around the campfires, with the Shenandoah family, singing and dancing tradtional Oneida songs. She shares with you, on this cd, a beautiful rendition of each and every one of them. When she sings, it takes me back, generations. Her voice is sweet, clear, strong and beautiful. Thank you Joanne for this gift of your soul.

Shenandoah has a beautiful voice and the rhythms are haunting, causing you to listen to some songs repeatedly.

Buy it -- you need it! This is music flows through the mind in powerfully smooth waves, evocative of the same quiet power I found in Timecode's 'Indigo.' In America, where achieving perverted levels of noise is a sacred goal, artists like Shenandoah take us away and set us in the chasmal spaces of peace.

The songs are beautiful and beautifully sung. I am happy that I got the CD. I like music that has more drum beats and rhythm. More of a beat to it - a little faster pace. But I enjoy the album alot and recommend it to others.

I found Joanne Shenandoah's : Peace and Power one of the most beautiful, uplifting collections of songs I have had the pleasure of listening to. It expresses the heart and soul of Native America in a most uplifting melodious story of life and love, without the need to understand the language.I look forward to enjoying more of her music!

I received very quickly and have totally enjoyed it ever since. I recommend this artist and
her music.
