Music of the Moment

...and a contemporary to John Prine...Steve Goodman. This song is dated, but Steve Goodman singing "the twentieth centurie's almost over..." on Austin City Limits, is so worth watching! ....and Bonnie Koloc...all of those Chicago folks playing music up there late sixties while I was 150miles south in a corn field.

I wasn't born with filters. I'm proud of that. I'm also in a really good place. To celebrate -

Another Train Rider
Arlo Bigazzi . Claudio Chianura & Lance Henson

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.

I did find this poetry with music on youtube, Michael...

Rion,

As always you make a great effort to find the music mentioned in this thread,but I couldn't even find a review of the album in English at least. I've heard that YouTube upload. The album is one of those works where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I hope my "review" of it didn't seem melodramatic. I could post some of the poetry which I think is great but the album as a whole has a big impact on me. I've thought of buying another copy and sending it around to people like yourself and Judith but I wouldn't want to put anyone on the spot if it wasn't their cup of tea.
