Synopsis

Album Description
History has always been the inspiration for some of America's most stirring music. Singer-songwriter, David Walburn, of Whitefish, Montana has captured in song the raw emotions and drama of an adventure that consumed two years and 8,000 miles, each day filled with exhilarating discovery, aching loneliness and remarkable heroism. With eleven original songs on West For America, David has hauntingly relived the Lewis & Clark Expedition of 1804, an epic journey of exploration stretching from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean. History has never sounded so good or felt so familiar; discovery of the Great Falls, enduring the Bitterroot Mountains, passage through The Dalles, the extraordinary personal hardships and struggles of Sacagawea and York. It is the human element, however--the longing for home, courage in the face of pending disaster, love remembered--that permeates this passionate musical creation and makes it remarkable.

CD Reviews

A Musical Journey
Mike | Roxbury, CT United States | 07/29/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"There are two good reasons to own this CD. The first is that it traces key events and themes in Lewis and Clark's epic journey across the frontier. If you are at all familiar with what was at stake for the Corps of Expedition, the ordeal's they faced, and the emotional roller coaster the men and Sacagewa experienced you will appreciate this album. There is above all a very moving expression of the sentiments that Clark's slave York may have experienced. A more important reason to own this album is that it is musically upbeat and exhilerating. I saw David Walburn perform this musical score at Glacier National Park, while doing some light Lewis and Clark research. From the moment I heard it and every time I have listened to it on CD since I have been uplifted. Mike"
