Keith Bear is a flute player of the first order. This CD contains an autobiographical video segment that really helps you appreciate the music that he plays and the person that he is. His tribal background is different from Kevin Locke, though both call the upper Missouri River area home, and those differences come through in the music. Both are wonderful players and people.

Midnight Strong Heart presents Kevin Locke’s indigenous flute performances of ancient and contemporary American Indian songs in collaboration with ensembles of top traditional, jazz, blues, country, world and chamber musicians. Honoring his Native musical heritage, Kevin offers innovative and original interpretations of songs of love, honor, celebration, comfort, play and joy.

This is for lovers of the real thing, for those who appreciate the Native American flute and chanting.

"to capture the true beauty of the instrument and the man. I can feel the sun shining, the wind blowing and the buffalo roaming. A true native artist who doesn't compromise his sound." - Review by Amazon customer "Close your eyes"

Kevin Locke always produces gentle, healing music often recorded outdoors with natural sounds. This CD focuses on traditonal Native American flute music played with joy and finesse in peaceful surroundings. You'll enjoy the mellowness of the moods while you share in the experience of the recording...P.S. He's incredible to see live. - Review by Amazon customer
