A Wonderful FindTuesday, November 04, 2003
Recently my wife and I happened to catch Brule' at the Applefest celebration in Bayfield, WI. After buying a couple of their CDs on-site, we were very pleased to find their music almost a good on CD as live. You need to see them live to really appreciate their sound. I did a search on Amazon.com and took a chance on this CD as it contained several Brule' selections. I was not been disappointed. I have it on as background music at work (when I can be in my office) along with Star People by Brule' and Night Tree by Nicole (flutist for Brule'). I highly recommend any of these three CDs. I find Conti and Douglas Spotted eagle also very well done and very enjoyable. Prior to these Cds, I thought all Native American songs and cds were chantings and shrill bone whistle and flute music.

Incredible ExperienceWednesday, June 26, 2002
This is probably one of the BEST compilations on the market. If you are new to Native American chant/song fused with everything from soft jazz to rock, this one gives you an unprecidented good taste of all of it. What makes the CD really stand out is the unbelievably smooth transitions from one selection to the next without obvious breaks. Even the minor overlapping helped to pull the individual selections together very nicely. The CD in its entirity just seems to "fit" together ... Engineering excellence you don't often find in compilations or individuals records.

Excellent compilationMonday, December 06, 1999
Great native american music, with a good variety of styles. Robbie Bee and Brule are featured prominently, and their work here shines. For the Christmas spirit, I would suggest "Red Nativity, one holy night", in the native american style. Brule's We the people is also excellent work

Great collection of songs!Tuesday, July 20, 1999
I really enjoyed this CD, it mixes the traditional Native American sounds with a more modern beat. Anything by "Brule" is worth listening to. May I suggest "Canyon Drums" by Peter "Wyoming" Bender. It's a real toe-tapper!
