In a collection blended with world music, folk, and jazz motifs, Nicholas Gunn has created a masterpiece of musical expression. THROUGH THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS, A MUSICAL JOURNEY must be heard to savor it uniqueness.

There are 11 selections of this CD. The songs are: "Call of the Wild," "The Highest Point," "Cades Cove," "Chieftain's Song," "The Place of Blue Smoke," "Azalea Sunrise," "Trail of Tears," "Awakening," "Ramsey Cascades," "Passage Through Ancient Relics," and "Dance of Light."

Each song is a polished gem of musical creativity, and each song has a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is the type of CD to have in your home library if you want to listen to music that inspires the soul with its clarity, sensitivity, and beauty.

I enjoyed each song for its individual merits of melody, harmony, and motifs. The songs will captivate all listening audiences with heart-felt expressions of rich imagery and blending of genres.

Flawless. Highly recommended.
