What people are saying about Wind Weaver’s CD Wild Threads:

RADIO INDY REVIEW OF WILD THREADS
Tranquil World/Native American music
author: Sean B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team — Five Star rating given on CD Baby for Wild Threads

The acoustic duo, Wind Weaver, and their album “Wild Threads” is an album that uses the musical talents of the Native American flute, acoustic guitar, and percussion to paint serene pictures in the mind with relaxing and contemplative sounds. In “Fluid Ooze” the melodic flute gently frolics around the steady, yet subdued sounds of a drum creating an atmosphere of serene tranquility. In “Aerial Wandering” a rhythmic and catchy acoustic guitar riff starts the song before an emotive flute comes in to tell a story that will enlighten your senses. “Summer Clouds” is a song in which a sympathetic flute and guitar combine to produce a well balanced song that will take you away to a warm summer day. The music within this album is sweet and tranquil as the Native American flute and acoustic guitar merge to create a feeling of placid relaxation. Whether you appreciate the sounds of these instruments or enjoy calming background music, “Wild Threads” is an album you will thoroughly enjoy.

Half way through the first track, I actually hit EJECT on my CD player. Was this really the correct disc? Was it really Terry Mack’s
first “this is my music” CD??

Yes, the awesome music coming off this “Wild Threads” CD was from Terry Mack and Paul Bezooyen, two really accomplished and in-synch
musicians from British Columbia. The first tracks were so musical and enjoyable, I had to stop the CD (again) for my acid test …
Vera. Now my wife’s musical tastes were born out of a steady diet of rock and top 40’s music. So it’s a rare Native Flute or New Age
album that lites her fire. Half way through each of the first three tracks, I got exactly the same reaction from her … “WOW”.

And just when you think you’ve got the CD pegged … you hit track 4. The enigmatic name “Fluid Ooze” doesn’t really prepare you for
the Drum Jam and and NAF that completely changes the feel of the album.

Paul Bezooyen is a guitarist who *GETS* the Native Flute. He sets up the these gorgeous ostinato repeating patterns and great riffs,
but the feel never gets far from that evening around-the-campfire atmosphere.

Terry is completely fearless when it comes to many things … changing tempos and feelings, at just the point where you might
wander. She is also not afraid of silence … dropping the flute away to let the guitar come forth.

Influences abound, as they should. Mary Youngblood and Mark Holland and Gary Stroutsos and Jeff Ball have all been infused into this music as well as
Celtic and African cross-cultural influences.

If this is was these two can do for a first time out with a modest production, I *really* want to hear what happens next!

  • This album is alive with sound. From the relaxing and soothing sounds of the deep voiced flutes
    to the trill of the tiniest it kept me interested throughout. Terry’s seamless playing with
    her well thought out accompaniments made it a delight to listen to. I shall listen over and over again.

    • * Great…NO Fantastic…! I Love It… I have to turn it off when I am online or I don’t get anything done but sit there and hum along. Is there MORE? Keep up the good work…

  • Truly amazing music by Terry and Paul! The hypnotic sound of Terry’s Native American flute weaves beautifully with Paul’s guitar creating a meditative tapestry. Their enchanting sound carries you on a mystical journey that is soothing and spiritual.

  • I absolutely love the Native American flute music and since I live in the southwest USA I am able to listen to a lot of it live. I will be looking for Terry Mack to bring her talents to the Red Rocks of Sedona, Arizona. I can’t think of a better venue to listen to this type of music in a live format. Until that happens though I will be looking for additional CD’s from Terry to add to my collection of Native American flute music. Paul Bezooyen’s guitar is a perfect complement to Terry’s flute and his solo number, “Welcome” just proves how masterful his guitar playing really is.
    Plug this Mp3 into your iPod, slap on your headphones, close your eyes, and tell me you can’t just see yourself somewhere in the Sonoran desert under a perfectly clear, star filled sky.
    I dare you!

    • I have had your cd for a few weeks now, and I am enjoying it a great
      deal. As you know I drive cab for a living and have played your cd while
      having passengers  in the car.  For the most part people seem to like
      the cd. One lady said it was amazing. For me the last track is the best.
      It would not be out of place on the Coyote Old Man Landscapes cd.

    • Hello members of Windweaver,
      I just wanted to say that your music had medicinal affects on ones soul.
      It is the true definition of soul music and when my soul hears you music it just wants to hear more.
      Sincerely,

    • A journey of spirit and song. Amongst this complication I heard the joy of free-flowing and
      tension-free expression admixed with the gentle tenacity of perfect pitch and pace,
      thus a channeling through many levels of truly-lovely musicosity.
      Thank you two for an oasis admidst a very busy world and life where all too often
      one rarely takes a few moments of peace… This CD is a bonafid musical leveling instrument.
