Customer Reviews:

A wonderful album from an accomplished artist.......2001-10-02

I wish I'd bought this years ago. Sharon Burch, a Navajo from a traditional background, sings songs in her native language that are full of warmth, love, and the confidence that comes of knowing who you are and understanding your place in the world. Her rich, gentle voice and simple hearfelt lyrics create a deeply feminine atmosphere, warm and loving, strong and wise. This is not New Age maundering, or stereotyped "Native American" cultural pose-striking: Ms. Burch sings not only from her own heart, but translates the values of her people into music that resonates in the heart of the listener, seeming to evoke what is best in all of us - the strength and confidence that makes gentleness possible.

As someone else has indicated below, this album (as well as Ms. Burch's others) will be of great value to anyone interested in the languages and cultures of modern American Indians; but it is so much more than that. This is universal music, and you don't need to understand Navajo - or even read the translations - to be drawn in. A truly remarkable album.

a musical treat for the heart.......2001-09-23

I love Sharon Burch and would recommend ALL three of her CDs. I use them all to relax when I am stressed and I always end up feeling happier and calmer. They are great to play around children too.

Chipper and Uplifting.......2001-06-08

Sharon Burch has a chipper voice and an uplifting style of music. The happy songs on this album are so communicative and sincere, that even the ones which are sung in Navajo - you'll still understand them.

When this artist sings, she should remind you of your childhood best friend. Friendly and chipper, warm and honest - in fact, in a certain way, as you're listening to the album and the songs get woven into your life, you'll feel as though she IS a friend of yours.

These songs offer a simple, optimistic outlook on life that is healthy and contageous. Sometimes it sounds as though she's singing you a sweet lullaby, sometimes it sounds like she's inviting you to play. Some of the songs are in English, others are in Navajo, and some are a mix.

All of them are treasures. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Native American music or to anyone who is looking for a package of gentle, chipper songs to perk up her life.
