With Inner Voices, R. Carlos Nakai revisits some familiar ground with new renditions of previously recorded material. Here the Native American flautist-composer's deeply resonant tones are countered and buoyed by Billy Williams's gently majestic arrangements consisting of violin, viola, cello, and bass. The title cut comes from 1998's Mythic Dreamer yet here takes on a more classic feel. The orchestra employs restrained and thoughtful strings, which in turn echo the melody line, play opposite Nakai for a grounded effect, and embolden the composition with gorgeously understated flourishes such as a low cello rumble or a slightly dissonant violin fill. On other standouts such as "12/20/82 Song" and "Winter Solstice," both on Changes, the artist's debut recording, Nakai's cedar flute beckons a return to balance, growth, and healing. The traditional hymn "Amazing Grace," having earlier appeared on Emergence, here becomes an aural blessing, as Williams's sweeping arrangements recall America's great Western plains and Nakai's melody floats above as an eagle on strong wind. --Paige La Grone

Summary: Soul Music
Comment: This is the perfect music for so many occasions. The flute is beautifully accented by the lovely orchestrations. In the car in traffic. At home with a fire going and candles lit. Even doing your taxes, the calming effect is magical.

Comment: I have no hesitation in assigning this a five star rating. The Native American flute is beautifully played by R. Carlos Nakai. When combined with violins and cellos, as is done throughout the CD, the music is so peaceful and calming. Listening to this CD is guaranteed to leave me in a better mood than I started.

Summary: Brilliant and So Peaceful
Comment: I love Carlos Nakai's music. Inner Voices is my favorite CD, followed by Fourth World. I often listen to it all day while working. The haunting flute melody with string arrangements in the background are so peaceful. If you're looking for something relaxing and reflective, these two CDs should be in your collection.

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: I absolutely love this album! Great job Carlos and ensemble! The album is full of relaxing sounds and emotion evoking melodies. It just gets ya, right there *patting heart*. I recommended it to all my friends and family. It is the best harmony of smooth native american flute and sweet strings I have ever heard. It's great for a massage or winding down from a long day. I often let it play me to sleep. It gives me mental pictures of the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and Lake Tahoe. If you liked music from the motion picture "Legends of the Fall," you will love this! It's the best CD I've bought in quite some time. AMAZING!
