Douglas Spotted Eagle is a man of many talents: flautist, film score composer, producer, author, activist, and performer with the Voices of Native America Tour. As a young man, he abandoned his rock & roll dreams for family, returning to music by his mid-20's in the wake of his late marriage. Spotted Eagle picked up the flute of his boyhood, and shortly thereafter distinguished himself as the first recording artist to combine Native American flute with synthesizer. And here, on his 14th solo recording, during the making of which his teenage son died, Spotted Eagle has again channeled his considerable loss into a work unlike any other. More fiery than earlier recordings, Voices is a blend of ethnic contemporary: jazzy horns and guitars, a dense undercurrent of meaty drum & bass beats, R&B-style crooning, and traditional Diné vocals by friends and tribal elders. And at the center of it all soars Spot
Eagle's unmistakably flamboyant flute lines. A bit rich for some tastes, Voices is a sonic journey of absorption.
