notes

The music of Songs of Water is best described as a spiritual conversation of eclectic sounds and instrumentation. Drawing from diverse cultural and stylistic influences, their compositions are interlaced with passion, creativity and experimental improvisation.
The music takes many shifts and turns through earth laden tonalities and contemplative moods. From acoustic grassroots jam sessions to Classical, Jazz and inventive fusions, Songs of Water is an experience to be taken in.

  • Everyone should have this CD!
    author: Rhonda

    I think everyone should have this CD! If you're reading this and you don't have it, I really recommed that you order it. You will be blessed. It is such a mixture of rich sounds from so many instruments. It is awesome. I know I can play it while I'm cleaning house or driving in my car... it's just something that can get you through... I've experienced bouts of depression at times and this cd when I put it on can help lift me out of that place to an entirely peaceful place.... It's worth buying, you'll play it--- a lot.

  • taking you on a journey
    author: Prizzo

    This is an album that would take you far away from yourself. Accoustic guitar, chello, percussion, mandolin and hammered dulcimer makes a great vacation for your ears. And Stephen Roach's poetry is awsome. You can actually buy his books on his website. Check it out.

  • Just Lovely!
    author: Lee Burton

    This is a beautiful album with lovely instrumentation. Every piece is strong.

  • instrumental music that wanders far afield from typical "alternative" ideal
    author: Jon Worley

    Songs of Water Songs of Water (self-released) "This [band] plays instrumental music that wanders far afield from the typical "alternative" ideal of such fare. As the liner notes say, "welcome the quiet invitation." Not many rock bands can use hammered dulcimer as a featured instrument and still keep their focus tight. [This band does] that and more, borrowing from both American roots and world beat influences to create a truly original sound." written by Jon Worley http://www.aidabet.com
