The Indian Summer Music Awards

<span class="style83" "="">The Indian Summer Music Awards CD from Arbor Records is a fine compilation of Native musicians for anyone who wants to take a peek into the contemporary side of this broad spectrum of music. With the exception of one track from the drum group Eyabay the recording is made up of pop, rock, instrumentalists and the rap group Slangbloosom. The eclectic line-up consists of Derek Miller, Indigenous, Robert Mirabal, Joanne Shenandoah, Peter Kater, Howard Lyons, Eagle & Hawk, Andrea Menard, Broken Walls, Cherokee National Youth Choir, Al Jewer with Andy Mitran, Chester Knight, Ray St. Germain, Bradford Smith and Lucie Idlout. We’ve included clips from artists that we think deserve a listen to as well as artists that are new to us. A great recording that has consistency and isn’t just a jumble of different sounds thrown together. Liner notes give a short description of each artist.
