Product Description Medwyn Goodall Medicine Woman II revisits the inspiration behind Medwyn's original and highly-acclaimed Medicine Woman. The journey continues with a new album that echoes a land where the storms have passed with the gift of new life. Through Medwyn's music the Goddess shares her powers with us, evoking the Emerald's power and restoring the Earth to purity. Medwyn provides us with a beautiful and intimate performance on Spanish Guitar, Bamboo Flute, Mandolin, authentic South American drums and a host of other instruments. Recorded in Medwyn's own studio, Medicine Woman II takes Medwyn's music to new heights. About the Artist From his home and studio in rural Cornwall, Medwyn Goodall has devoted himself to reflecting the beauty and inspiration of nature through his music. He plays over a dozen instruments, although his main instrument is the guitar, with which he has evolved a unique style melodic, expressive and graceful a music that is both inspiring and calming. Born in the Yorkshire Dales in the village of Harrowgate he spent his childhood in the scenic splendor of the countryside; the Goodall family veterinarian was the best-selling author James Herriot. Raised with the sounds of the 60's, Med was particularly fond of the Beatles and the Beach Boys, claiming their melodies influenced him to get his first guitar; at the age of 11 Medwyn met English pop star Cliff Richard, who encouraged him in his choice of a musical career. He began composing music as soon as he had mastered a few chords on his guitar, playing in many different bands as a teenager. One of these groups, Trax, appeared on the television show Check It Out and made numerous radio appearences, including a guest spot on BBC Radio Leeds. Goodall turned out to be a natural musician, able to pick up any instrument and play it. His range is amazing, including double bass, mandolin, piano, drums, harp, percussion, flute, glockenspiel, panpipes, vibraphone, and synthesizers of all types. He has designed and built his own recording studio, stocking it with many varities of sampler (which Medwyn claims as his favorite instrument, as it will perform any musical sound in the world), synthesizers, guitars and a wealth of acoustic instruments.

Beautiful instrumental music
Love this whole series of Medicine woman (I have volumes I, II, and III) it is all instrumental - no vocals - so its great for when you are relaxing or doing yoga workouts, beautiful instrumentals, I listen to them over and over.

Let's Celebrate!
What a surprize! This new creation of Medwyn Goodall takes us out of the meditative state we experienced with Medicine Woman and calls us to celebrate, get on our feet, dance abit and rejoice in the Goddess. This is a fabulous follow-up to his existing work. There are lots of opportunities to enjoy the meditative bamboo flute, so nicely done by Goodall, and tap your toes to the popular Spanish guitar. Job well done!

Relaxing
This Medicine Woman was just as good as the first one. Both me and my husband enjoyed it very much. The first time we listened to this CD was a Sunday morning with our coffees and we were quite relaxed just being in the moment!! I am looking forward to purchasing the 3rd in the series.

Medicine woman
Hey this isn't half bad. It has a nice beat and is not your usual elevator music. I bought three of these and that's probably enough.

Medwyn does it again!
If I could sum up this recording in just one word it would be "Wow." The first volume of Medicine woman was terrific but this one blows it right out of the water. It is a lot more lively and upbeat than the first one and from the first track "Celebration" the album is off to a great start with its hint of Latin American flavor its a great way to start off the day. Overall this album is a classic recording which is what we have come to expect from this wonderfully talented composer an album that I guarantee will uplift you and re-energize your very being. As usual this album see's Medwyn playing over a dozen instruments but he does so to haunting and marvellous effect. Inspiring, uplifting, wonderful, haunting, amazing, Need I say anymore?
