This review is from: She Had Some Horses (Audio CD)

Her words are stunningly visual and her visuals are visceral. Her writing style is tight, raw, cutting and goes straight to the heart and in the case of "The Woman Hanging", gut wrenching. Most of us at one time or another have been hanging by our own fingers, our own skin, our "own thread of indecision." Her words open the heart and the pathway from modern woman to the ancients, to the grandmothers and back again, always with honor, dignity and respect and a reverence for life. With her music, Ms. Harjo makes a beautiful bridge between the very old and traditional and the new and modern- a sax moaning three-o-clock-in-the-morning sounds, "I Release You" with a hip-hop feel. The words and the music in this album take me on a glorious journey through fear, loneliness, courage, honor, respect, love and forgiveness.
