A Simple Man

by Burning Sky, Kelvin Mockingbird

Overview

Burning Sky is a trio based in Phoenix, Arizona comprised of musicians playing flute, guitar, and bass. They weave traditional melodies and contemporary forms to create original music indicative of today's Native America. A SIMPLE MAN is the follow-up to their Grammy-nominated SPIRITS IN THE WIND. Released on the Canyon Records label, tirelessly dedicating over 50 years to publishing traditional and contemporary Native American music. "Wisdom Keeper" begins the album with an assured knowing of accomplished musicianship. "Twilight in Your Eyes" allows the sound to open up for Burning Sky's arsenal of handmade flutes. "Wind & Steel" features incredibly crisp finger-picking against steel strings. Special guest artist Martha Redbone is featured on the title track, providing bluesy vocals on an otherwise instrumental album. These are songs of broad landscapes and painted deserts where the flute soars in a flight path that reunites listeners with the sky.
