Little Wolf Band is the brainchild of Native American producer Jim Wilson, well known for the Tulku project. He uses loops and samples to weave together tribal chant-based, trance-inducing music, centered on the music and ceremonies of his people, the Northern Cheyenne. Having helped launch the New Native American popular music genre (alongside rock luminary Robbie Robertson), Wilson has worked with such key figures as Krishna Das, Jai Uttal, Allen Ginsberg, and Rita Coolidge. For Prayer to the Mystery, Wilson moves to realize his own deeply shamanistic, musical vision, a combination of deeply trance-inducing Native American rhythms and vocals with electronic sweep and flow. The tracks on Prayer to the Mystery capture a strong gravitational pull via samples of tribal drumming and chanting along with synthesizers, flutes, guitars, and strings. It's the road into mystery paved with gold.
Listen closely and the ancient rhythms present in Prayer to the Mystery will sweep you across time, painting a clear landscape once dominated by the indigenous people of North America. Little Wolf Band unparalleled combination of traditional Native American flutes, drums and beats with state-of-the-art electronics makes this album truly unique and groundbreaking within the new native music genre. Intoxicating and full of life, this album reaches deep into your soul connecting you with the native spirit that flows through all.
