"At the time I first wrote this review, I had just discovered John Adorney through a sampler CD. "Beckoning" was the first of his CDs that I bought. I cannot get enough of his music. He is creative and highly talented.
This is my review of all three Adorney CDs. For me, his music is like a religious experience. At the same time, it is soothing and relaxing yet energizing. There are several tracks, including 'Celebration,' on the 'Beckoning' CD, and 'Always' on 'Waiting for the Moon' CD, that I will play over and over. I simply cannot get enough of them.
I am not a serious musician, so I cannot give a technical critique. However, I find the instrumentation and arrangements to be superb. The music surrounds you with emotional warmth!
Buy all three CDs!

"I have all of John Adorney's albums and just found out recently that they are played literally all around the world. When you listen to this CD, you'll understand why. He is an accomplished musician who writes beautiful, intricate and melodic pieces that you listen to over and over again without getting tired of them. An absolute must for a New Age music fan."
"After listening to both of his albums, I have come to the conclusion that John Adorney is the most talented composer to ever walk the face of the Earth. I can't decide whether the title track, Beckoning, or Dance of the Moon and Stars is my favorite song of all time.Soft, beautiful, soulful, restful, peaceful, soothing, gorgeous.Some music you can listen to and grow tired of. Not this music. True story: It's hard to find John Adorney's CDs in stores, so I ordered over the phone and made a special trip to Alabama to buy Beckoning. Loved it so much that within a couple of weeks, I drove back the buy The Other Shore. It was worth it!I'd give this CD 7 stars if they'd let me. I sure hope JA comes out with more music in the future!Bob Quinn"
Simply the best

"This review is for "Beckoning", but all of John Adorney's music is great. If you want music to relax and transport you to another place, then get his music. Excellent, layered instrumentation superbly mixed to carry you along on an Adorney journey. Don't know how he does it, but each song is unique, and becomes more interesting each time you hear it.
