From Solo Flute, drum, to Rock, Folk, and Hip-hop. This is a special CD that will take you on a journey into the heart. A portion of the proceeds (40%) go directly to homeless shelters.
Native music recording artists join together for a new compilation CD
> that will help the homeless crises in America. The new CD, entitled,
> "Rise-up: Songs from Native America" includes 20 well known award
> winning artists that span across styles within the Native American Music
> genre from traditional drum, flute, rock, hip-hop, folk, new age, blues,
> story telling, and instrumental. Weaved together, the songs share a
> story of hope, healing, and inspiration. "This project is amazing. To
> include such a wide range of music in a way where each track compliments
> the other is masterful." (Ken Tripe, 'National Music Today').
>
> This effort through Spirit Winds Records, co-produced by Donald
> Blackfox, Jan Michael Looking Wolf, and Kathy Sohler, is intended to
> promote national awareness of the homeless crisis and raise some funds
> to help shelters around the country with a portion of the proceeds. Each
> quarter, an artist on the recording will be able to choose an
> organization to help. "This is the way it should be," says Donald
> Blackfox, CEO Spirit Wind Records, "Every artist will have an
> opportunity to help their favorite non-profit group for the homeless.
> Our culture is based on equity, on a circle; all the musicians on this
> recording have an equal place."
>
> The cover of the CD depicts a Phoenix rising up from the ashes in bright
> flames. This project was birthed from a shared vision from Donald
> Blackfox and Jan Michael Looking Wolf, who co-wrote the title track
> "Rise Up".

> "It is such an honor to be involved in this project with so many
> talented, compassionate musicians", Jan Michael quietly talks into the
