Editorial Reviews:
"A wonderful world-beat album for relaxation and entertainment...rich in organic reverberation...a wonderful companion for a road trip or just about anywhere that makes you think of nature..."
Cowboys and Indians Magazine, November 2000
"With this album, Jeff Parker has created a niche that has been needed for a long time: a combination of white and red, to form a beautiful rose-colored tapestry of music..."
Old West Journal, Summer 2000
"It is a pleasant...excursion through some jazz, new age, and jam-band territories...."Kilimanjaro" has Grateful Dead written all over it, from the sauntering backbeat to the ringing Garcia-style guitar. "San Isabel" recalls Garcia''s work with Sanjay Mishra on Blue Incantation. ....Spacey but nice."
Dirty Linen, July 2000
