Search - Kevin Locke :: Flash of the Mirror

Honest and direct, without any frills

""A Flash in the Mirror" is a collection of traditional Lakotah songs. Kevin Locke's style of flute playing is very distinct from Karlos Nakai's long drawn out flute tones. Kevin's playing sounds more personal and expressive. He makes a single flute sound like multiple voices singing together. I would really like to hear Kevin Locke perform live to see how he makes so many wonderful sounds from the flute. The only criticism I have is that the recording is a bit bright and forward, but I still keep coming back to this recording to listen to the talented playing, and the places and people the songs express. Note: This recording is of a single flute only, it does not have nature sounds and singing like "The First Flute.""
