Joy Harjo: Interview About Her New CD

Getting to the place without words. Music and poetry. Thoughts on her new CD.

Winding Through The Milky Way is a little road music to accompany us as we make the timeless journey between Earth and Sky. We're in a story that will always include the ancient while riding to the outer edge. We'll get there with music, poetry, lyrics, stories, sheer sorrow and joy. Start with a voice. Let it fly free. Bring in a saxophone to touch those places the words can't reach. Add an insatiable guitar, some heavy philosophical bass, a little piano and Mvskoke and other tribal rhythms to take us back to Congo Square and before, back up into the Milky Way. Add the good thoughts of those we've met along the way. We've got it and we're traveling now.
