  • Reservation Blues
    author: R. B. Hafemann

    Even better than I expected. A wonderful companion to the book. Beautifully sung, played, and spoken.

  • Reservation Blues
    author: Donna Kingsboro

    Jim Boyd just keeps on making great CDs for us who live too far away to see him perform in person. One great artist to keep track of.

  • one of Jim's best with Sherman the icing
    author: Judy Noyes

    The poetry and singing voice are tremendous, especially Falling Down and Falling Apart written for so many native women. This is my favorite cd now.

  • The more you listen to this cd, the more you like it!
    author: Valérie Biret

    The first time I heard Jim Boyd performing was when watching the movie Smoke Signals and I fell for his voice, the way he sings and for the lyrics so full of meaning of the songs "Reservation Blues" and "Father and Farther"(this one is one of my favorite with "Falling Down And Falling Apart"...)Each song is a piece of artwork with a lot of value. Both Jim Boyd and Sherman Alexie make this cd a precious one.

    author: Angela Sestito

    The collaboration of Boyd's music and Sherman's poetry went very well together. Both voices as one...
