Various Artists: The Real Bahamas in Music and Song
by AAJ Staff

Animals of Africa: Sounds of the Jungle, Plain, & Bush
by AAJ Staff
We get so intellectual some times about our music that we fail to see the beauty in simple things. After all, it's whether the sound conveys a situation or mood that matters. Some purists would even say that a musical instrument is a crutch for what can be done with the voice alone. Much can be ...
