"SHAMAN is not just a band, they are a gift of music, of life, and of love - for Mother Earth and all her children."
Ross A. Levy, reviewer for the New Voice , Feb.1992 issue.
"Besides contrastingly intense, blow-you-away voices, this Celtic folk rock group strums haunting high energy music which begs your feet to jig with guitars, mandolin, and fiddle."
Dee Dee Finney, reviewer for the New York Review of Records, Dec. 1991 issue.
"Ode to Mother Earth is a remarkable work . . . links the eternal impulses of the spirit to the rhythmic pulse of the Earth,"
The Very Reverend James Parks Morton, the former dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.
"Ode to Mother Earth is a delightful collection of songs which are filled with a sense of spiritual wonder. . .The complexity of the arrangements and the poetic beauty of the lyrics make this work a compelling, consistent and thoroughly
refreshing addition to the world of Pagan music. This tape will move you from the somber to the ecstatic, and leave you wanting more."
Thoth, reviewer for the Neo-Pagan Journal, Tides, Samhain/Yule issue 1992 issue.
"The songs generally have themes of reverence for the earth, environmental concerns, and similar ideological ground. While the lyrics to the songs show awareness of modern problems, they have sort of a neo-medieval feel. . .some of the best I've heard in this genre."
Steve Winick, reviewer for the World music magazine Dirty Linen , April/May 1991 issue.
"The Club advertises the show as 'Celtic Hippie Dancing', and that's exactly what goes on. Shaman's music is spirited traditional jigs and reels, and of course the lyrics filled with grass and trees and whales and the like.
Even if you don't care if your tuna is dolphin-safe or not, this is certainly a good time."
Brian Rowan, in his Off the Record column of theIrish Voice Newspaper, New York City, Jan. 14, 1992.
"Shaman's tapesty of sound weaves together an astounding variety of styles combining Celtic instrumentals, Mediterranean Gypsy songs, otherworldly ballads, and passionate pagan pixie music. . ."
RS & ABr, reviewers for the World music magazine Dirty Linen , April/May 1994 issue.
