A SIMPLE MAN BY BURNING SKY
Burning Sky, the trio of guitarist Aaron White, flutist Kelvin Mockingbird and bass player John Katz, presents an album of organically tinged, Southwestern style harmonies that capture the essence of contemporary Native America. The music is instrumental, save one track with vocals from award-winning vocalist Martha Redbone. Mockingbird's wistful flute melodies conjures up visions of a landscape pierced by dusty red rock formations and a hazy, golden sky. The guitar and bass backing of White and Katz adds color and a touch of earthy grit to the tunes, giving them a modern acoustic edge. The title track (with Redbone's vocals) is one of the standouts, as is the poignant solo flute piece "Twilight in Your Eyes" and the warm, yet somber "Blood and Faith."
