Rickie demonstrates enormous versatility all the way from the funk of the title track, "In the Land", through the poignancy of "Trust Love" to the poetic and nostalgic imagery of "I'm Ready to Listen Now." Her evocative performance/presentations are soul-stirring and spirit-raising. They are underscored with such integrity and artistiry that they are simply captivating. This CD transcends boundaries and defies categorization.
"I enjoy all of Rickie's music, but this album regularly moves me to tears. You can feel the spirit moving through her as she sings... wow. No matter how bad of a mood I might be in, her lyrics and music move me into a connection with the divine. Beautifully recorded and produced. This is my favorite album."

"This CD transports you to another dimension of consciousness. Not only do her and the arrangements voice inspire but the words are so uplifting and appealing. My entire frame of mind shifts into a more positive one as soon as I put the CD on and hear the beginning notes of Om Shanti. Sensational!"

"I can't thank Rickie enough for giving me such a wonderful place to go to when I need it. This is the way God meant music to be!
I can listen to this CD 25 times in a row and always find something new inside it. It is clear and clean."

"In the land of I AM...brings forth a spiritual musical journey. You will find every quality, every emotion and every message of love, joy and bliss weaved into the music on this cd. Every musician is at the top of their game. Every note falls into place with absolute perfection.
You will find yourself knowing and singing the words almost instantly. This cd is filled with chants that are perfect for any occasion. My wife and I are constantly spinning this cd when we have company over, and every time the people visiting say, "Where can I get this cd?"
I will wrap this review up with a suggestion and then a few words from the cd itself. Suggestion: Treat yourself to the gift of Rickie's music by purchasing this cd NOW! And...now I take a moment to remember this: "The breath of God is breathing me, I'm breathing in the breath of God, I know that all is well." And so it is!"
