Rating: 1 / 5
I found that the music was slightly depressing and significantly similar in sound so that towards the end of the CD I was just as happy to have it end.

Short & Sweet – this CD is very much what I was looking for … I love to listen to it ~ to unwind from work or just to chill. It is truly soothing to the soul! I am now … such a fan!! This is the first review I’ve written.

In April 2003, I purchased an F# Native American Flute (NAF) and practice every night before bedtime, accompanied by my Golden Retriever on squeakie toy. To learn the NAF, I use a book provided by the flute’s seller, but I was not sure what a true master of the NAF could accomplish. I knew of Nakai, but had not heard him play until I purchased the Canyon Trilogy CD at the Grand Canyon North Rim last week. In my own NAF interpretations, this CD shows me that I’m on the right track, but what a long journey I have ahead of me! Thank you for your NAF lessons, Ray! Now how will I teach my Golden Retriever?

I have read the many praising reviews of this cd, but in the end I disagree with them. This album is not bad, and it is nice for what it is. However, it is your run of the mill Native American flute music that sounds like every other cd of its kind. If you love this kind of thing, and obviously many people do, then you will be in seventh heaven with this album. But for me, I could go to Wal-mart and pick up a cd that sounds just as good from their little Sounds Of Nature display.
