Personnel: Mary Youngblood (vocals, flute); Tom Wasinger (various instruments); Eric Levine (violin).
Grammy winner Mary Youngblood has always been on the forefront of Native American music, expanding on traditional sounds. Her albums, while preserving the story-telling and songcraft of her heritage, introduce a modern technical savvy (synthesizers, programmed drums) that supports the airiness of the melodies she conjures on flute. On this 2007 release, Youngblood's songs evoke the stillness and transcendence of a summer forest.
