Sacred Spirit Chants and Dances of the Native Americans,
1995s critically acclaimed multi-million seller, is now
joined by the official follow-up album, Sacred Spirit II
More Chants and Dances of the Native Americans. The groundbreaking
Sacred Spirit spawned a new generation of ambient music not to
mention numerous "copy-cat" releases. Sacred Spirit
II again successfully combines ancient Native American ceremonial
chants with modern instrumental arrangements through a cycle of
celebration, wisdom, reverence and rebirth. The music focuses
on authentic vocal chants sung by Native American performers

BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA *
Spirit of the Century", is a stunning blend of classic gospel
tunes and contemporary secular music, all reinterpreted in The
Blind Boys' unique and passionate style.
Here's what "Straight No Chaser" thinks: "Tired
of all this beat head bizniz? The look no further than The Blind
Boys Of Alabama. These old boys first got together in 1939 and
here find themselves accompanied by multi instrumentalist David
Lindley, don blues guitarist John Hammond, contra bassist Danny
Thompson and harmonica master Charlie Mussel white. Beautifully
recorded, prepare to be dropped down in America's deep south,
on some dusty road or a small wooden church where you'll find
yourself testifying that "you're a soldier in the army of
the Lord!". Top tune has to be 'Amazing Grace' set to the
tune of 'House of The Rising Sun'. Out there."

* Neal Schon is a name synonymous with Rock
& Roll. For the last three decades, his guitar playing has generated
millions of album sales for two other names also synonymous with Rock
& Roll, Journey and Santana. It was only a matter of time until
Neals extraordinary guitar and song-styling virtuosity was unleashed
on its own in order to expand itself as its own entity, spaced from
the specific confines of a band. Voice is Neals third such offering.
The melodies in Voice are Neals, yet not his at all. Voice is
a tribute to his peers and the melodies that they have performed,
written and affected his life. The ten songs presented on this album
have been performed by a diverse set of artists. From Andrea Bocelli
to Annie Lennox, from Bryan Adams to Bonnie Raitt, from Leon Russell
to Mariah Carey, and have been interpreted by Neal and his guitar
to create an exquisitely balanced, emotionally charged instrumental
collection
