Let's get this one a Grammy!" -- Tricia King, syndicated radio producer for Coyote Zen is now my favorite tape to throw in the truck when I'm driving. I think Jeffrey Parker is one of the finest musicians around and this end of his artistry is impeccable. -- Mike McClure, The Great Divide, Atlantic Records, Nashville, TN The sounds and moods evoked brought out the soul of my thesis film in ways I could only dream of; the music acted as a character, leading us through the rich and unique landscape of Oklahoma. -- Travis Graalman, Director of Melvin: A Midwestern Tale, Mirimax Films, New York Took the Coyote Zen cassette with me over the holidays and listened to it while driving through the Rockies and it was awesome. -- John Gregg, Sr., National Host and Producer of Native Sounds - Native Voices Product Description Editorial Reviews: 'A wonderful world-beat album for relaxation and entertainment...rich in organic reverberation...a wonderful companion for a road trip or just about anywhere that makes you think of nature...' Cowboys and Indians Magazine, November 2000 'With this album, Jeff Parker has created a niche that has been needed for a long time: a combination of white and red, to form a beautiful rose-colored tapestry of music...' Old West Journal, Summer 2000 'It is a pleasant...excursion through some jazz, new age, and jam-band territories....'Kilimanjaro' has Grateful Dead written all over it, from the sauntering backbeat to the ringing Garcia-style guitar. 'San Isabel' recalls Garcia's work with Sanjay Mishra on Blue Incantation. ....Spacey but nice.'
