Stockdale, Mary Martin
Inspired by the creek that runs past her rural Colorado home and the natural beauty of the West, Mary Martin Stockdale's second solo piano release reached #1 on the New Age Voice charts. Strong classical themes meld with Stockdale's creative improvisation to create a sound Steve Ryals called "richly melodic solo piano at its most heartfelt" in New Age Retailer. Sita Stuhlmiller, writing in Light of Consciousness magazine, heard in it "a timeless landscape of pure, expansive sound." Carefree as the breeze of a summer day, fresh and energizing as a mountain stream, the music's simplicity and originality reaches directly into heart and mind to evoke a feeling of contentment and wellbeing.
