Medicine Walk | C.W. Wolf: Album Release

Medicine Walk by C.W. Wolf, the Album!
It is finished, well all but the duplication, printing, labels and distribution. I have even taken the time to add the cd text elements, database entries for online retrieval and several other niceties.

All is going very well considering Mercury is in retrograde. I am expecting to have a first release available for purchase in several days. Here is a bit of info from the liner.


C.W. Wolf finally listened to those around him, following his musical roots to produce his first album. Other than the bird sounds and chime which were from Public Domain, all material on this album was created by C.W. Wolf including Music, Recording, Photography, Artwork and Performance. More information and Photos are available on his web site www.cwwolf.com

About the Music:

Coyote’s Wish and At the Hall were recorded by C.W. Wolf in 2008 at the Killington Events Hall on Mini Disk and adapted to the current album. All other tracks were recorded at Heron Brook Haven in December 2009 and early 2010.

Brookside includes a recording of the brook which passes through the property. The flute is a Poplar Native American style six hole flute with a Wolf Saddle Block.

My Lady is the first song I have written for Dulcimer and was written for my “Fit” Jana, My Lady, who “Lets me know, I can be everything I want to be.” Learn more about us at www.heronbrookhaven.com

Medicine Walk reflects my journey into the spiritual aspects I have been overlooking for far too long. It features some of my home made instruments including my hand drum and rattle. The flute is an Em, six hole Native American style of Eastern White Cedar with a large bore.

Circling Hawk is played on a High Spirits high A Flute, Hand drum and Turtle Shell Rattle.

The Hermit Thrush is played on my old Guild Acoustic and my White Raven Red Cedar Flute in the key of Cm. Visit www.whiteravendrums.com to see more of Kia’s beautiful work.

Moongazer was performed on a most unique Flute called “The Fire Crow” It is named for the lightning struck Red Cedar which was lovingly crafted by Bruce Kroeber. It is a closed end flute with an intricate carving of a crow on the end. This flute was gifted to me by Bruce. See photos at cwwolf.com

Djembey Jam is a fun piece I started with my Rhythm Roots Djembey, adding a couple tracks with my White Cedar Em Flute.

Solitude is played on a Poplar, Gm Cherokee Style Flute made by Spiritman Walking, #19.

The Bamboo Flute is just that, A flute I made from Bamboo that was growing at Horse of a Different Color Ranch in West Virginia. Dedicated to Brother Stevie and Earth Mama.

Preview Mix is excerpts from a test for my next album. The recording is live and actual sound at Heron Brook Haven and I am really looking forward to recording in this secret location again.

My Lady - C. W. Wolf

My Lady - C. W. Wolf
Here is the preview.
Okay, you asked for vocals so I included one vocal track on the new Album. My Lady is a song I carry very close to my heart. Written on the Dulcimer, it has inspired me to broaden my instrumental boundaries as I continue to make music with love and respect. I hope you enjoy this piece.
~C.W.
