Editorial Reviews:
"COYOTE ZEN comes at you from the outside, through your ears, into your soul, and departs through your mind and body, leaving you refreshed, whole, and at peace."
-Bob Saporiti, Senior V.P., Warner/Reprise, Nashville
"...Without doubt that it''s, (Medicine Dog), one of the greatest CD''s I listened to in the last months. The music speaks the language of Earth itself! ...It is wonderful!"
-Sergiu Rusu, RADIO ARAD -Arad, Romania
"https://www.tradebit.comes World beat, Jazz, Funk, and Southwestern New Age music into a blur of Okie fusion. Parker''s music is cool! .....("Eagle and Coyote" is) one of the more musical uses of the Native American flute that you will hear on disc. Medicine Dog is a weird, yet beautiful album that can only be described as being Coyote Zen!"
-Native American Times, January 2002
"I just gotta say, the more I have steeped myself in this music, the more impressed I am with the beauty of the music you have created. I think this CD(Medicine Dog), has the potential to break across boundaries and get some significant mainstream attention. Let''s get this one a Grammy!"
-Tricia King, syndicated radio producer for "Different Drums" February 2002
"(Medicine Dog)This rez dog is no starved puppy. It''s a meaty dish full of flavor and tasty morsels that can be savored over and over again. It is, after all, medicine."
-Brian Wright-McLeod, News From Indian Country, Jan. 2002
Album Description:
The second album by COYOTE ZEN, Medicine Dog, was released on December 10, 2001, on Oklahoma based PAW Records. COYOTE ZEN is the creation of noted composer/engineer/producer, Jeffrey Gray Parker, of Tahlequah,Oklahoma. Taking the concept that was established on COYOTE ZEN''S first release, Blood of Many Nations, Parker stretches his creative horizons to weave many contemporary world music influences into the twelve song selections on Medicine Dog.
As with his last record, multi-instrumentalist Parker explores even deeper into his one-man-band approach to making music, to present a record that fuses many styles that come together to make a musical statement that is deep in many cultural sounds from all around the world. But, Parker also understands the interplay and magic that comes from collaboration, and features on Medicine Dog several first-rate musicians, and a guest spoken-word performer.
As Medicine Dog was going into the final stages of production, Parker wrote "Cow Hop" for "KING OF THE COWBOYS", a documentary film about rodeo star Ty Murray (Features a cameo of fiancee and pop star, Jewel), by Academy award nominated producer/director, Ramzy Telley, which will air on The Discovery Network in early 2002. "Cow Hop" is included here as a bonus track.
