With gorgeous harmonies and complementary instrumentals, this trio of women sing Mother Earth around the Wheel of the Year. Combining traditional arrangements with brand new compositions on this 2000 release, their message of harmony is accompanied by almost every acoustic instrument you can think of, from oboe to spoons, accordion to banjo. Conjuring up images of a time when the turning of the Wheel was a community event, one to be shared and celebrated -- a time that will hopefully be one day resurrected -- their music helps fuel the hope that we can learn to live with the earth, not just on it.
