Some of the best Native American musical talent is featured ont his CD, making it one of the best-ever compilation CDs available. By focusing on peace, the tunes are reflective, thoughtful and very lyrical. The compilaton is masterful in combining music which flows from one piece into the next creating an overall portrait of tranquility and meditative thought. You would be hard-presesd to find a better selection of high-quality ensemble music and vocals, no matter what the ethnic background of the musicians. The fact that this CD exists demonstrates the outstanding musical talent within the Native American community. This is destined to be a classic and to stay in your collection for years to come.

I use this CD in the classroom. I use it for work time and also for various friendship and mindfulness activities. I also sometimes play a short bit of music before class meetings. I often choose music from this CD for this purpose. The music really seems to get the kids and myself into a peaceful mindset. I teach in a 1-3rd grade combined class, but this CD would be appropriate for any age; infant through adult.

Awesome CD. Invites one into a peaceful place. I often use it before meditation to help get myself centered. I have given the CD to many of my friends--a worthy gift.

This is a beautiful cd from beginning to end, creating an atmosphere of heart-centered peace. I have been known to play it several times a day, often just before a client call so that I can carry that loving peace into the call. Each time I listen I am touched by the honey smooth voice of Joanne Shenandoah, the duets of Peter Kater and Carlos Nakai, and Lawrence Laughing's heart-filled voice.

After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, this album is more poignant than ever. A beautifully, soothing soundscape with a decidedly Native American bent. Prayer For Peace showcases today's top Native musician's: Robert Mirabal, Joanne Shenandoah, Mary Youngblood, R. Carlos Nakai & many more. Proceeds benefit The World Peace Prayer Society and the message is clear...
