An album of 18 original songs and poems written, performed and produced by eco-musician and poet Jon Sherman. Through harmonies and images that enchant the heart and lilting rhythms that invoke the spirit, these original compositions take the listener on a healing journey of integration with the natural world. Inspired by the endangered Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly of Southern California, this album is dedicated to all creatures, in this age of extinction, and their struggle for continued existence.
The beautiful painting on the cover, depicting the endangered Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and one of its two food plants, Deerweed, is a gracious contribution to this project by renowned watercolorist Fealing Lin.
Reviews:
Inspired by the endangered Palos
Verdes
Blue Butterfly, this album is a
colorful tapestry of poetry, flute playing and singing, all woven
together with light ethnic rhythms - the pure sounds of
nature.
Just like the fluttering of a butterfly, the melodies are
beautifully
gentle and flow with inspiring words that pour with the emotion of
a
gushing waterfall. Jon Sherman wears a badge for nature with
this
CD - bringing forth all those wonderful little things about nature
that
we often pass by without a glance, reminding us that Mother Nature
comes in all shapes and sizes, all colors, and holds incredible
powers.
Lisa D. Smith, Southwest Blend
This CD is a beautiful and soothing tribute
to the interconnectedness of the natural world.
