Music For The Native Americans

Music For The Native AmericansListen, impress your friends, take it to test speakers In 1994, Robbie Robertson was commissioned to write the soundtrack for the television program, "The Native Americans." He did not undertake this project alone. Among the Native artists recruited were: Ulali, The Thundercloud Singers and Douglas Spotted Eagle. The result was this album, which is part Native American, New Age, rock, and all masterpiece.
Listen to the tracks if you need a little peace, inspiration, or you just want something different and beautiful. Every song has its own message and appeal. As always, I'm going to mention a few favorite songs, but seriously, they are all good: "Coyote Dance", "It's a Good Day to Die", and "Ghost Dance" are the three I have repeated most, but that will probably change.
Let your friends hear. I've already sold a copy to my best friend, who was ready to head out to the local record store to find it.
Take it with you when you audition new stereo systems. There's a lot here to challenge your ears and your audio equipment.
