Search - Coyote Zen :: Medicine Dog

The second album by COYOTE ZEN, Medicine Dog, was released on December 10, 2001, on Oklahoma based PAW Records. COYOTE ZEN is the creation of noted composer/engineer/producer, Jeffrey Gray Parker, of Tahlequah,Oklahoma.Taking the concept that was established on COYOTE ZEN?S first release, Blood of Many Nations, Parker stretches his creative horizons to weave many contemporary world music influences into the twelve song selections on Medicine Dog. As with his last record, multi-instrumentalist Parker explores even deeper into his one-man-band approach to making music, to present a record that fuses many styles that come together to make a musical statement that is deep in many cultural sounds from all around the world. But, Parker also understands the interplay and magic that comes from collaboration, and features on Medicine Dog several first-rate musicians, and a guest spoken-word performer. As Medicine Dog was going into the final stages of production, Parker! wrote ?Cow Hop? for ?King of the Cowboy?s?, a documentary film about rodeo star Ty Murray, by Academy award nominated producer/director, Ramzy Telley, which will air on The Learning Channel in early 2002. ?Cow Hop? is included here as a bonus track.
