Product Description
The beautiful companion music to best selling Native American author Jamie Sams SACRED PATH CARDS,was created by John York, singer/songwriter/guitarist and former member of the BYRDS, to pay homage to the special power of Native American spirituality. York has successfully found a way to communicate his personal approach to this mystic world into something universal, via a truly moving musical soundtrack, for the most part without the necessity of words. Aside from the invocation spoken by Jamie Sams that opens the album, several Native American chants, and the haunting JUST ONE ARROW, a song written and sung by York that is reminiscent of material that the BYRDS might have recorded which closes it, this world class musician weaves his magic with mostly instrumental tracks.

He uses Native American instruments to help bridge the worlds of ancient Native American wisdom and modern Western Civilization in this fascinating musical look at a philosophy that centers around the oneness of all creatures with Mother Nature. Available now for the first time on Compact Disc.

Beautiful Native American Music.......2006-03-01

This is the most centering/grounding of all the Indian drumming, chanting, and instrumental music I've listened to. It's relaxing and sometimes even somewhat haunting. But the spiritual tone will resonate through your soul and revive and strengthen your spirit.

Wonderfully soothing music!.......2001-07-27

This is a very calming and centering cd. The chants have a soothing and calming quality, and the background ambient music fits perfectly with the chants. I often hear for several hours in a row, and I feel more at peace, more centered. What better recommendation can one give?

I like the ambient background music, but not the chanting.......2001-06-16

This CD was disappointing to me. I bought it after hearing one song from these guys on a "Planet Chant" compilation CD. On the piece chosen for Plant Chant, Primeaux and Mike's chanting has a trance-provoking, ethereal quality to it. However, on Sacred Path, I did not find most of the chants to have this quality. Many of the chants on Sacred Path have a repetitiveness that becomes quite annoying after a bit. I realize that repetition is the hallmark of chanting, but I did not find the repetition of these chants to have a healing affect on me. In fact, I found some of them to be downright unpleasant. On the other hand, I did like the ambient music played behind each piece. It had a gentle and more relaxing quality than the chanting on me. Botton line on this CD: Upon repeated listenings, I find the chanting just does not work to provide me with relaxation, but the ambient background music does. Unfortunately, the chanting negates any effect the ambient background music has on me. I would not recommend this CD for relaxation purposes.

mysteriously peaceful music.......2001-02-13

This is the only CD that I own at present by these singers. There is something almost mysterious about it. When I play it last thing at night I have the best sleep of all & feel very rested the next day. Each track blends together to make a lovely sound. I really would recommend it to anyone who finds it hard to relax. Any suggestions for my next CD by Primeaux & Mike?

Spiritual Healing.......2001-02-10

In listening to this music, you feel touched by the Creator. Although good to hear anytime,these sacred chants are especially a gift when you feel alone, in a hurting space or in a "dark" time. The voices are soothing, comforting,and nurturing, bringing the "Presence" to touch your heart. Reverence, humility and healing will embrace you as you hear it. A must have.

Very Earthy.......2003-11-03

I love this CD! The drumming, rattles, guitar, flute and singing and so wonderful, crisp, clean music. Every song is good, relaxing, melodic. Its a little new age-ish in that some of the sounds are etherial sounding in combination with the traditional native american music sounds - this sort of sound helps make this cd so special and makes it so relaxing to listen to.
