I started a Pandora channel based on "The Newberry Consort" as I was researching medieval times, particularly agriculture/farming practices. The music really has an old time feel to it. A lot of the songs generated on the station were written in the 1600s+ and are preserved/performed.

Earlier I was listening to a channel based on the group "Fuel" lol.

What can I say about this album? Just simply get it. If you feel a connection with the earth and want to understand a little more profoundly the indigenous connection with it, this album will enrich that connection in unusual ways:joy,sorry,anger, needed respect and empathy for each other. Most of us are outsiders,we forget way too often our ways are only a few hundred years old at best. This is an album about spirit,the spirit of nature,of place,of all beings,animism.

Lance Henson is Cheyenne, Oglala and French. Lance is a member of the Cheyenne Dog Soldier Society, the Native American Church and the American Indian Movement (AIM). He has participated in Cheyenne Sun Dance on several occasions as both dancer and painter.
Lance has published 17 books of poetry......

The music is an unusual mix. The interlocking between words and music is a complimentary balance. This is an album which makes one think but most of all feel,ponder life,living from what has been lost and needs to be regained..... Some people call it soul.

This album is a,if not the,sleeper of the last few decades.

This is my "Music of the Moment". Thanks, Michael...We love it!

Look up a documentary called Ghengis Blues, featuring Paul Pena. Simply amazing.

Not the best video, but there are surely others.

We saw the Alash Ensemble, throat singers from Tuva, right here in the middle of blue grass country...they were wonderful:)
they have played with Sun Ra and Bella Fleck.
When I get to the library computer I will look up Ghengis Blues. Thanks for your musical contributions.:)
