Hopi native Bruce Hamana recorded his psychedelic loner-folk classic Hamana almost entirely by himself. For his follow up he enlisted John Wagner–fresh off the heels of recording albums for Indigenous psych groups like Winterhawk and XIT–to produce a full band studio album of solo-laden rural psychedelic rock. Originally released in 1981 in an impossibly small pressing by Mother Earth Records.
Bruce along with Henry Whirlwind Soldier (Sioux), Marty Deland (Sioux), Roy Deneh-Deal (Navajo), Tinker Nez (Apache/Navajo) and Kathryn Silversmith (Navajo). This wonderful LP was recorded at Wagner Studios in Albuquerque, New Mexico and it is a highly collectible Indian Psych.
