5.0 out of 5 stars Easily One of is Best, February 16, 2001

By	Trent M. Nicholson "professor_nicholson" (Yucca Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nakai produces a romantic, healing, while vaguely haunting music that gently transports you back to a time when music was more than just entertainment. Nakai emulates the traditional music of his Navajo-Ute in a way that is both touching and mystic. Be prepared to be taken on a journey where you will be introduced to the feelings an impressions that Nakai himself experiences. He will show you through his music what the world around his means to him, and he will instill that awe of life in you.

Nakai doesn't fall into the trap of giving the musical tourist exactly what he expects. There is no chanting or jingling bells, no corny sound effects or war cries. Instead he simply taps into that inner peace that we all look for. Perhaps that's the reason so many people have come to appreciate his music. The universal understanding of, and need for, peace and insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, Graceful and Appealing, Very Well Done, November 10, 2005

By	traderdean "Dean" - See all my reviews

This CD is a favorite of mine. Out of all the ~4~ R. Carlos Nakai CD's I have, this one usually gets played the most. I love track# 4 - Savannah Sojourn withits flute melodies and background vocals, and track# 10 - Running Down the Sun. The flute, together with the Banjo was really a nice touch. I recommend the CD sampler Amazon provides to listen to each track. I like this one while driving on my car. The background voices are enchanting and add to the "Feel" of the music. Helps me to unwind and takes me to a wonderful place. You can't go wrong with this CD! ***** 5 Stars **** In my opinion, every track is stand alone excellence!
