I enjoy nearly everything by Medwyn Goodall with "Medicine Woman 1 & 2" probably being his best works. This CD is okay in that it has a couple of really exceptional songs. "Be All That You Can Be" is my personal favorite followed-up by "Dawn Over Africa" which sounds so much like "Be All..." that when I first heard the two songs, I kept waiting for the chorus of "Be All.." but it never came. That's how much the songs are alike. The entire eight tracks have so much of a sameness that the CD isn't actually boring, it is just... uninspiring or perhaps "predictable" is a better term. I purchased the CD for the two songs I mentioned by name so I feel I got my money's worth. The remaining songs are okay to good but very repetitious which is fine for a while, I suppose. The music is five stars for my two personal favorites but the remainder of the tracks brings the overall package rating down to three stars. This is my first CD by Medwyn although I've heard a great deal of his music from satellite and Internet radio stations. Thirty second samples will never do his work justice as he may take a full two minutes just for the introduction of a song which is why I am hoping that Amazon will expand the length of their samples to a full minute in the New Age music department.

I loved this whole CD; free flowing, yet lively, it brings you out to places within yourself that you've never been to or you have been in another time; familiar, yet not, this is a great CD to listen to any time....LOVED IT TOTALLY!! I wish there were millions more like it!
