The result is rich with the spiritual beauty of ancient Navajo, Hopi, Oneida, and other Native cultures. Too many bright spots dominate this collection to list them all, but among the most special goodies are Walela's "Wash Your Spirit Clean"--floating with angelic voices, sparkling guitar, and crisp percussion and drums--and "Oweegon" from Jim Wilson's Little Wolf Band, which sends Priscilla Coolidge's vocals and Native chant flowing over spicy electronic rhythms like cold water through river rocks.

"It is difficult to find perfection in a collection of any type of music, and Native American is no exception. However, to pick and place all excellent songs on one CD is truly hard to believe!Yet, this feat has been done with this CD. I have been selective in buying collections of Native American music, but this purchase was an excellent find? Close to gold in richness, and close to heaven in score, this CD is a fine work of art.Don't miss it!"

"Drift away from those 21st century blues and be at one with the Earth, with the Sky, with your soul.... the sounds and vibrations of this wonderful CD will take you away and bring you home, a true communion of spirit. Double treat yourself, also buy "Sacred Spirits: chants and Dances of the Native Americans"."
Marvelous introduction to the feast of Native American music

""I am Walking" transports listeners and gives them passage to another world. The pieces draw the audience in to a realm where absurdities are left behind and exploration of life or self or people is the thing. Each cut tells a tale needing to be heard by the listener regardless of whether the words are understood or not. "I am Walking" is a must-give/get for everyone who values life. It is simply beautiful, enchanting and not to be too extreme, transformational music. Alas, the world doesn't allow the transformation to last long. Buy it. Give it. Cherish it. You will."
