3 out of 5 stars A bit of a disappointment.......2005-10-22

I have enjoyed Joanne Shenandoah's recordings in the past; however, this one was a disappointment to me. It relies heavily on orchestration and traditional western (meaning European) notions of music. There's nothing really wrong with it - but nothing really RIGHT with it either. While I know that "Native American" music can become stereotyped, this just feels wrong to me - it feels as though it as lost its identity, and to me, that identity has been what Joanne Shenandoah's music has been all about.

5 out of 5 stars Sky Woman.......2005-04-05

This CD is a beautiful work of art. All of Ms. Shenandoah's work that I have heard, and I have almost all of her CDs, has been wonderful. But this new work elevates her artisty to a new level. I is a true pleasure, and sometimes even a religious experience to listen to this wonderful piece of music. She is obviously a person of great talent and spirtuality. Her music uplifts the spirit and teaches the mind.

5 out of 5 stars Walter Smith - Skywoman by Joanne Shenandoah.......2005-04-04

Skywoman is yet another surprise showing this woman's great talent! The blending of her beautiful and graceful voice with a symphony is a true tribute to her talent. Joanne's talented voice telling the stories along with the symphonic music woven into these songs is a real treat. I have greatly enjoyed listening to this CD and learning more about the Iroquois legends. Each song is a gift from those who came before us and have kept the traditions alive, it is truly the gift of the future. Thanks for keeping the spirit alive!

5 out of 5 stars Skywoman .......2005-03-24

In her latest CD, Joanne Shenandoah has combined her golden voice with a full symphony orchestra to produce a memorable musical experience. Inspired by the book Skywoman: Legends of the Iroquois written by Shenandoah and her husband Doug George Kanentiio, Skywoman tells a timeless story of creation with a powerful message of peace. From the stirring "Skywoman" to the beautiful "Grandmother Moon", the haunting "Giving Thanks", the charming "Evergreen Trees", the "Whales of the Sea" (with actual whales cries), to the lovely "Feather in the Wind" this CD weaves a magical musical spell.
