Synopsis

Album Description
Elephant Country is an acoustic masterpiece, blending thought provoking lyrics with haunting, beautiful melodies and first class instrumentation. The range of instruments used on this album is staggering: didjeridoo from Australia, djembe and conga drums from Africa, hand made wind chimes, gongs, fretless bass, mandolin, cello and violin as well as acoustic guitars and keyboards. Elephant Country takes you on an emotional tailspin through upbeat, rambling songs such as "Sun Rose" and "My Merry Go Round" to deep, moving spiritual songs such as "Sothisis" and "Marrach Rong". Percussionist Clay Green paints sonic pictures with his use of melodic drums, cymbals, chimes and shakers, while bassist and keyboardist Ken Nelson fills each song with rich harmonies and tasteful bass riffs.

A Refreshing Awakening
01/14/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This symphony of spirit screams!! This CD grabbed me and my friends with integrity from the start. The next thing I knew I was comforted and willingly danced throughout a holographic musical performance. Real listeners are respected and paid with high quality, dynamic twists and artistic expression that exceeds any of todays expectations. These songs comfort and tangle at the same time. Compassion, Truth, and Strength through Softness await you. I envy your first listen. There is no predicting. I gave in, opened my heart and surrendered my ears to be directed and was gracefully pleased to have done so. Have your cuppa ready and sit between your speakers, this is an adventure! Take my advice, save the shipping and handling fees later by buying two or three copies now..."
