Label: Two Owls Music
He also happens to be a very good guitar player. His music
led him to his education and his final destination. His service is called The Rhythm Tree,
which is very appropriate for his chosen field. An Open Sky introduces his music that helps his clients.
With the exquisite cello playing of Kristen Miller to
accompany him, the album offers 10 tracks of acoustic bliss. I wonder if the
Two Owls (Music) are referring to the two folks making all the music on this album?
If the instruments are played well and the arrangements are
right for the particular instruments it can work very well. In this case, it
certainly turns out that way as this duo combine to create some heavenly
sounds. The whole idea behind this is that music is healing - yes, it is! I
think with this fairly new profession of music therapy, that has come into
focus more prominently. I remember watching a story about Glen Campbell when he
was in the earlier stages of Alzheimer's and how he could remember all the
words to his songs but anything else was a struggle. That is the power of
music. Before he died he recorded an amazing album called Ghost on the Canvas. That story and that music have made such an
impression on me, I will never forget it. It totally changed my way of thinking
when it comes to music, the healing kind.
All of those thoughts and feelings quickly coalesce for me
when I hear music like I heard on An Open
Sky. I think in this timeframe, the one that all of this was recorded, the
artist opened his heart and soul to create this beautiful music. It does not
take long for me to realize that after I understand why the music was made and
for what purpose. I do not need that as an influence to hear and write about
music, however, knowing more about how it came to be, made the listening
experience that much more powerful. It is a tool to heal those that need help
in any way, not necessarily for those that have special needs, anyone that
needs some sort of healing can benefit from music like this.
Thanks to more and more people like Ryan Judd and
recordings like An Open Sky I have
evolved as a listener and spiritually. I am amazed at the power music holds for
any listener. There is a lot of thought and effort that goes into making music
so important to so many people. So, I say with all of my heart and soul, thank
you, Ryan, for what you do for people and helping to make me a better person by
listening to your music and reading your story.
