Reviews:
“'Johnny Whitehorse is a character creation of Robert Mirabal.' That is according to the liner notes of this CD. Consistent with Robert's other releases, the sound design is flawless. He combines traditional acoustic instruments with subtle electronics (courtesy of Larry Mitchell.)
“This is a great CD! Robert immerses himself in this character to the extreme. (It is almost scary and certainly eerie.) Johnny's persona is that of a craftsman and a traditionalist. He creates music to deliver praise and homage to his heritage and to the spirituality of Native Americans.
“While this is great music, it does take an effort to appreciate the nuances to the fuillest. It is possible to use this as background ambience, but deep listening and serious involvement capture the depth. The atmospheres and soundscapes are rich and full, relating several subtle messages. Deep listeners will enter Johnny's world so it is important to read the liner notes and to appreciate him as his own entity rather than as an extension of Robert Mirabal. As stated above, that can be eerie but it is also rewarding.
“These gentle atmospheres are excellent for meditation and holistic healing practices. Robert's production and recording techniques take full advantage of the inherent overtone properties of the acoustic instruments - specifically the flute and didgeridoo. The performance are rich and soulful. The experience is grand. This album is a true gem, going above and beyond the norm into the perpendicular universe.”

Description:
Imagine a time of great horsemen riding across the plains and desert plateaus. Warriors and dancers celebrate around the drum. Ghostly visions appear in sand storms and rain clouds, a sign from the Great Mystery to which we are all connected. Johnny Whitehorse weaves tribal drums and native flutes into a mystical musical tapestry of a time gone by.
