By Kathy Gracenin, Kristen Short & Rusty Wiltjer
"…a deeply stirring two-disc set…The lyrics by Gracenin are infectious, interspiritual prayerful jewels written in haiku poetry form…Short arranged and shaped each haiku in mantra-like fashion. You will find your favorite leaping into your consciousness, unbidden…wondrous and hypnotic rhythms created by Wiltjer…his drumming in ‘Song of Cicada’ is a tour de force…"
