CD Reviews

A haunting, inspiring Classic!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD will go down in history as a classic! Harvey Arden reads to the book he edited that was written by US Ojibway/Lakota political prisoner Leonard Peltier called Prison Writings. Steps above eloquent poetry, it's a journey that takes the listener inside prison walls and weaves through US / Indian relations, FBI abuses, and our conscience. The music is haunting and inspiring. The story will stay with you and leave you with vignettes of wisdom and emotion.My favorite line of the CD, "Are you an Army of One? And if not.. why not?" I highly recommend this CD. One of my favorites."
