We’re
in a story that will always include the ancient while riding to
the outer edge. We’ll get there with music, poetry, lyrics, stories,
sheer sorrow and joy. Start with a voice. Let it fly free. Bring
in a saxophone to touch those places the words can’t reach. Add
an insatiable guitar, some heavy philosophical bass, a little piano
and Mvskoke and other tribal rhythms to take us back to Congo Square
and before, back up into the Milky Way. Add the good thoughts of
those we’ve met along the way. We’ve got it and we’re traveling
now.
This is Harjo’s breakout album. An album of new songs coming from the heart of the Earth. The opening song reaching into our primordial center and pulling forward into the conscious, the memories of our ancestors to wake us to our destiny.
