Soothing and Inspiring Work Music
author: Susan Jonsson
I play this album regularly as wonderful background music when I'm doing art or writing. There is a soothing and calm quality about it that helps me consentrate. I think "Wake with the Sun" and "This Earth" are especially lovely.

the earth is now a better place
author: Mike Coykendall
I worked with Olmec on this CD and have a deep appreciation for his purity of art and expression. The earth is now a better place. Or, at least, we can see its potential. I love it when someone and their art / music comes along who is unique in vision and uncompromised by the expectancies of the "market." Not to say that these efforts should go unrewarded. Good should get noticed and here's to hoping that you take notice. Enjoy the hope and have a better day.

Excellent contemporary folk with a undertone of gospel
author: Allen
Olmec has put together an outstanding mix of contemporary folk. While listening I often found myself swaying to the music and tapping my foot, which I don't often do with folk. Many songs have a strong "green" streak. And Olmec's southern gospel roots undergird many of his songs, though he has no mention of Christianity. For instance, if you re-think the song "Wake with the Sun" as "Wake with the Son," it could be sung at any church gathering without changing any words.
