Different than anything we had heard before, this album was our first introduction to harmonized Peyote singing. It took us a little while to get into, but has since become one of our classics around here -- one of our very favorites. Accompanied by the mesmerizing rhythm of Native American rattle and water drum, Grammy Award-winning Johnny Mike expresses the healing power of music through these harmonized Peyote songs.
The Peyote ritual is practiced as a ritual spiritual renewal among members of the Native American Church. These songs are prayers in the form of music, sung to enhance peace and harmony within the individual and the world. These recordings make it clear that Johnny Mike's beautiful vocals are indeed a sacred instrument.
