Eagle Cries : One Silver One Gold, a bluesy eco-ballad enhanced with ringing guitars, mythic lyrics and a haunting tone that would have not sounded out of place on The band's Music From Big Pink. - New Age Voice ; Watch Me Through The Night is an a capella spectacle to behold. - Cowboys and Indians Magazine; .rarely has inspiration ranged so far, or so consciously, as it does with singer-songwriter Joanne Shenandoah. The award winning musician is known for stylistic versatility--although she sticks close to folk rock this time out--but every one of her dozen albums shows consistent vision. Even when Shenandoah sings of violence and conflict, Eagle Cries retains its message of peace. Amazon.com.
