Incredibly real, wonderfully crafted, fantastically performed music!
author: Karnalis
While many native American flute albums I've heard have been filled with cheesy sound effects and harsh, out-of-place synthesizers, this CD of pure emotionally-driven and legitimately substantial music holds up better than a great deal of others, and it is an absolute joy to listen to over and over again. Brooks' solid-yet-flowing guitar lines provide a terrific base for Hooper's soaring flute melodies, almost as though their respective instruments were made to play with each other. This is truly "music of earth and sky!" I look forward to their next album!

"Shapeshifter" a joyous and uplifting listening experience
author: Dan RIcketts the Noisy Bear
This CD is fresh and vibrant. It combines the native American flute and acoustical guitar in ways that are both lyrical and uplifting. The CD is a joy to the ear. The music is nicely woven and well constructed. The beat is up lifting and interesting. The songs are pleasantly varied and yet fit nicely together as a whole. This CD proves that the Native Flute can create a joyous upbeat sound not just the long ethereal, meditatve, and plaintive sounds we often associate with the instrument. Everyone I know who has listened to the CD has found it enjoyable. Two claws up from the Noisy Bear!

I was blown away after hearing this CD. It is so uplifting and happy. The NA flute and guitar together are amazing all through this CD. Most CD's you like a few songs off of but this entire CD is just fabulous! If you think the clips sound to good to be true, let me assure you, the songs ARE that good all the way through! It is a must for any NA music collection.
