Native American Music

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.

The final installment of the Kris & Rita "trilogy," this album was less country-oriented than the previous two; but a fine album none the less. It appears as if the impending divorce might have had an impact on the album as a whole.

It's about time some of Rita Coolidge's large catalog makes it to CD!

Rita Coolidge put a spell on my in my school years. "You" was one the favorite dancin songs of those days in my town. I bought this record basically for this song and "All time high" cause hey gave a nostalgic memory of my younger days, but the whole record is full of great shiny perfomances by her. "We are all alone" completed the treat for me but all the songs are great.

With her beautiful voice that varied from breezy to husky, Rita Coolidge was one of the unique voices of the seventies and eighties. This excellent compilation includes all of her greatest hits and some superb album tracks like her exquisite version of Leonard Cohen's Bird On A Wire.

I would highly recommend this CD to any jazz fan who doubts that a well known country singer can cross over and sound like she's been singing jazz all her life. Her supporting band is first rate and she allows them much room to breathe. Very enjoyable listening and a bargain.
Review by Amazon customer Ignacy Urbanski "Iggy" (Henrietta, New York)

Ecstatic over finding this in CD at Amazon!!!!!! I have literally "worn out" the album I bought many years ago when this was first released. The collaboration of these two artists was a stroke of genius. The way their voices play off each other will lift your spirit!! If you are a fan of either artist, this is a must!!!!!
