background |
| at
the time | When
asked to do a tribute CD to the Native American People including some wise sayings
by Michael Looking Coyote, CC immediately thought of Will Pimlett, with whome
he had shared the bill at a couple of festivals.
The album was made partially
to coincide with the launch of Vision Magazine which had a feature on Native Americans
- 2 tracks were on the cover CD.
Percentage of profits from this album
are donated to Native American Indian College
Fund. | | influences | AR

CC's
fave track | Great
Spirit Told Me | |
Retrospect | The
album has gone on to sell really well all over the world. Michael Looking Coyote
has used the music on the album as a backdrop to an album of spoken word meditations.

film theme.

word
