Combine Native American touches with a healthy appreciation of storytellers like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Leonard Cohen and you have Bill Miller, a distinctive singer/songwriter who shows how compelling he can be on Ghostdance. This superb CD is essentially folk-rock, but it's folk-rock with Native American elements. Not only has Native American culture influenced him musically, but his reflective lyrics are also greatly influenced by the history and culture of Native Americans. Like Springsteen, Miller realizes that great singer/songwriters often draw on their own backgrounds and experiences. The Boss' frame of reference is working-class New Jersey -- he sings so convincingly about blue-collar life that you know he has been there -- whereas Miller's is the Native American experience. And his insights as a Mohican help to enrich "There Is You," "Every Mountain I Climb," and other pearls on Ghostdance. But you don't have to have a Native American background to be moved by this album any more than you have to be from New Jersey to savor Springsteen's Born to Run. The Boss might be writing about people in Asbury Park, NJ, but listeners in Melbourne, Australia, or Dublin, Ireland, can easily relate to his stories; and similarly, Ghostdance offers insights that people from a variety of backgrounds will appreciate. ~ Alex Henderson

Like his contemporaries Clay Walker and Kenny Chesney, Mark Wills has always been at his best on the weepers. GREATEST HITS wisely sticks to ballads and thus makes for a cohesive, consistent and enjoyable listen. The tunes are arranged chronologically, so it's easy to hear how Wills's sound has become increasingly pop-oriented. Though the production eventually becomes so slick there's little to remind one that this is a country album, Wills's extraordinarily sensitive ...

Ghost Dance songs
$9.49
Go When the Morning Shineth has all the earmarks of a singer/songwriter effort, including a stark moody cover and an evocative title. The album has even been put together by a singer/songwriter, Don Peris, who has proved his ability to write introspective lyrics in the past. The odd thing is that, with the exception of "North Atlantic Sand" and "Young as You Feel," Go When the Morning Shineth is instrumental. This, indeed, is an unusual path for a singer/songwriter to take, and the rather haunting feel of the music may leave one with an uneasy impression that Peris laid down the instrumental tracks and never got around (for whatever reason) to laying down the vocals. Anyone familiar with his work with the Innocence Mission, though, will know he's also a fine guitarist. Peris' guitar alone, however, isn't what makes the album so fascinating. It's the hypnotic arrangements of guitars, drums, keyboards, and cello, most of which are played by Peris. The opener, "Day Trip," has a wonderful dreamy feel, with the reverbed guitar floating along like a reimagined '60s soundtrack. "Day Trip" is followed by "Jubilee," though the title is somewhat misleading. The music is lovely, but it's more melancholy than happy. The two vocal tracks, "North Atlantic Sand" and "Young as You Feel," fit nicely into Go When the Morning Shineth's overall design, topping off an enjoyable album with a sound all its own. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
Go When The Morning Shineth is the new CD by Don Peris, longtime guitarist for the innocence mission. Their career has spanned nine albums and numerous 4 and 5 star reviews across the globe. Don Peris’ unique and unmistakable guitar tones dip and soar, shimmer with tremolo, and create strong melodies in a memorable collection of songs. This ...
