SHADOWCATCHERS

SHADOWCATCHERS treats us to three different voices in this masterful production. Michael Toms, reading as author Steve Wall, engages listeners with his homespun narrative style. With him, we journey across America and farther south to record and preserve the ancient stories and myths of Native American elders. Saginaw and Apesanahkwat lend their authentic voices to the vital messages of tribal sages. The triad works well: Each land offers a new story and a new, insightful voice which Toms integrates into the entire piece with the eagerness of an absorbed apprentice. With its encapsulated wisdom, this audiobook is a grand lesson, a spiritual journey, a mediation--all at once. R.A.P.
