Northwind Calling

by Mossy Kilcher

supported by

Boots Rough natural edges and a big big heart. Love the lilting melodies Favorite track: What Is That Light.

Uncompahgre Records Love this dreamy folk album that celebrates the most lovely Alaskan homestead. Reminds me of Vashti Bunyan and her music of the Scottish Hebrides. Also, been a fan of Jewel since I was a kiddo.

about

These songs are for you ~
My dear children, family, and friends, and for all who have felt the enchantment of the North Country ~

for my 7 sisters and brothers
and the close times we shared singing together ~

songs of our hopes and dreams,
and the adventures of growing up in a log cabin in the wilderness ~

where we learned to make our own music

~ singing along with the music of nature
~ with the coyote's cry,
and the calling of the seabirds ~

for times of travelling by
horse and wagon
along the beach of
Kachemak Bay ~

where the Fox Sparrow sings high above the windy shore ~

where the eagle soars ~

and where the melody of the Hermit Thrush echoes
from the deep, wild canyons
and mossy forests ~

the true music of Alaska~

for my pioneer parents, Ruth and Yule,
who came from Switzerland
to homestead in Alaska in the 1940's ~
and who taught us the folksongs of the old country ~

for the last wild places where someday our children also may go to daydream and explore nature,
for the salmon returning,
for the old timers who have gone,
for all who live close to the land,
for the seasons and the times ever changing ~

Love,
Mairiis
