Feed the Fire

This Native American flutist is of Aleut & Seminole descent and is joined by guest stars Joanne Shenandoah, Bill Miller, and Ian Anderson (from Jethro Tull!). On this release she also plays piano and sings on a few tracks. It’s relaxing, low-key music that is, be warned, rather new agey. That’s not always a bad thing, though, and her flute playing is wonderful, warm, and rich.

1. Bright, relaxed mid-tempo w/a lite jazz feel.
2. Downtempo w/nice female vocals & a delicate feeling.
3. A slow, melancholy ode for guitar, cello, & flute.
4. Slow, sad, haunting piano/flute duet.
*5. Light, mid-tempo w/vox/strings/flute. Catchy.
*6. A simple melody w/a harmless little flute/strings thing.
7. Vox/piano/flute. A relaxed, folksy song.
*8. Strings/flute/perc. Lazy w/nice flourishes of chanting.
9. Elegant flute solo w/a sense of sadness.
*10. Baroque guitar, flute, cello..a stately, elegant charm.
11. A bit more upbeat but w/a definite new age sound.
*12. Bright flute, drum, rain stick. A happy sound.
