Soul food might sound like a Southern cuisine, but this Soulfood fries his music in Native American pots and dips it in ambient sauce. On his first album, Breathe, Soulfood orchestrated an ambient-Native American soundscape deep in texture and adventurous in its electronica architecture. Since then, however, he’s tapped into the gift market, with designer new age flamenco, world fusion, and meditation CDs. Something got lost in the souvenir shop, but on Mystic Canyons Soulfood, a.k.a. DJ Free, a.k.a. Gordy Schaeffer, returns to his early inspiration. Teaming up once again with Anakwad (Frank Montano) of the Ojibwe tribe on flutes and chants, Soulfood deploys euphorically melodic compositions bathed in electronic textures. As befitting his DJ roots, the disc is a seamless flow, moving from the quietly triumphal guitar strumming of “Canyon Echoes” to the deep meditation of “Thunder Song” which recalls the flute choirs of Coyote Oldman. Mystic Canyons isn’t nearly as close to the edge as Breathe, but it does have some magnificent vistas. –John Diliberto

Commissioned to come up with a soundtrack for the 1994 Turner Network Television special The Native Americans, Robbie Robertson delivered some of his most haunting and evocative work to date. Combining the sleek atmospherics of 1991′s Storyville with traditional tribal chanting and instrumentation, Music for the Native Americans often manages to sound both contemporary and timeless. Unfortunately, Robertson’s lyrics are often as clunky as they are well intentioned–though brief, his liner notes are far more powerful and informative–and his gravelly speak-singing is consistently outclassed by Native American guest vocalists Pura Fe, Soni, and Jen, whose “Mahk Jchi (Heartbeat Drum Song)” is also the album’s highlight. File under “flawed but interesting.” –Dan Epstein

Product Description
This collection of traditional and new melodies for solo Native American flute continues R. Carlos Nakai’s exploration of this expressive instrument. Returning to traditional roots, he presents eleven arrangements of Zuni, Lakota, Kiowa and Cheyenne melodies along with seven original compositions and a work by composer by James DeMars. Nakai beautifully demonstrates the haunting simplicity and evocative magic of the traditional flute.Amazon.com essential recording
Nakai’s most recent outing finds him returning once again to the simple under-produced style that he pioneered on Changes. This program includes 10 traditional tunes from the Kiowa, Lakota, Dakota, Zuni, and Cheyenne; seven of his own compositions; and “Lake That Speaks,” from the second movement of James DeMars’s “Two World Concerto.” On this album the Native melodies sound forceful, almost triumphant, partially due to the short, staccato bursts that Nakai often uses to begin a melodic line–sounds that bring to mind a child’s laughter or the contented chirping of a dawn bird. For the Cheyenne “Victory Song” and the Dakota/Lakota melody “The Great Mystery Hears Me” Nakai uses more sustained notes than usual, and the clear, piercing tone of his flute illuminates the heart like a ray of midday sunshine. –j. poet

The tunes on Prophecy–hymns to solidarity, ambient sound collage, spirited flute, drum, and Native chant–compose one of the all-time most popular programs broadcast on weekly public radio, Hearts of Space. Featuring some of Native America’s most prominent artists, including Joanne Shenandoah, Lawrence Laughing, Coyote Oldman, and William Easton, Prophecy resonates with mellow mindfulness. Verdell Primeaux and Johnny Mike conjoin traditional sounds with samples and “ambient textures,” while Soulfood’s uplifting “Wayob” widens the net with the inclusion of birdsong and children’s voices. “Wisdom,” a composition of strange and mystical beauty, leads with gorgeously restrained cello and blends the finest Native American and Tibetan elements (flutes, horns, chants, and prayers) as interpreted by R. Carlos Nakai and Nawang Khechog. –Paige La Grone
