Hi ho and merry day o!
There are so many things to write about, namely that Florida is being blessed with the awesome music from Australia that came on the wings of this airplane all the way from around the world. Spiral Dance is enjoying the beautiful Florida weather and blessing us with their new CD:
Land and Legend, which is exactly the sound of Spiral Dance we know and love. Just going to talk about their new CD today and
After the privilege of hearing two of the songs live, they sound rich with spirit and really speak of the connections to land and the legends of the ancestors that gave their energy to the land before us.
My favorite song off the album is Goddess of the Southern Land, out of bias no doubt because Adrienne reveals a part of her journey and, I feel, it holds a key to how to connect to the land and be part of its energies, wherever you are.
The Song of the Trees has a lot of swing to the music and it feels perfect for the climb we are taken up the trees, through its branches and standing strong with the roots and legends. Trees are a lovely theme along the albums of Spiral Dance and a theme I really hope includes more perspectives of their life.
I'm additionally pleased to see the artwork for the Land and Legend CD cover includes lovely aboriginal artwork by Indigenous Artist Sal Lavalle of Bogong Moth Art that represents Our Mother Serpent in indigenous legend. The cover of the CD features the Megaliths of St. Just in Brittany, the Celtic music center of the world and is an actual photograph of the stones, along with Harry, Merlin's dog. :)
What's even more delightful is the surprise vocals on tracks 1 and 11 of another wonderful bard we all know and love - you'll have to get a copy to find out who!
I'm excited to really sit down this weekend and listen to each and every song on the 11 CD album in more detail. Paul's squeeze boxes are so delightful to dance to, Nick's guitar work always has a hidden surprise, so hearing the full production with Rick's percussion and Nigel on bass and there's didgeridoo, too, which I just discovered is a skill I wasn't aware Nick had. Additionally wicked.
I hope you enjoy the new music as much as I do.
And the best part is they left some magic behind :)
Don't miss their last concert in Winter Springs, Florida this weekend, because they are leaving the States very soon!
It's actually tomorrow, October 14th at 7:30 pm.

See ya soon!
