Butterfly Blue is an album of 18 original songs and poems written, performed and produced by eco-musician and poet Jon Sherman. Through harmonies and images that enchant the heart and lilting rhythms that invoke the spirit, these original compositions take the listener on a healing journey of integration with the natural world. Inspired by the endangered Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly of Southern California, this album is dedicated to all creatures, in this era of environmental imbalance, struggling for existence.
The beautiful painting on the cover, depicting the endangered Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and its food plant Deer Weed, is a gracious contribution to this project by renowned watercolorist Fealing Lin.
Reviews:
This CD is a beautiful and soothing tribute
to the interconnectedness of the natural world.
Lynn Paschal, Earthworks Sustainable Living Magazine
Butterfly Blue is a reflection
of the delicate balance
all creatures share with nature.
Jim Walters, San Gabriel Valley Weekly
Jon's clear tenor voice beautifully fits the natural setting, soaring
above the cascading rhythms of his keyboards. It's music that
adds, rather that detracts, from the wonder of the surroundings.
Glenn Whipp, Pasadena Star-News
Sherman's Solar Powered musical innovation
is truly on the cutting edge of ecologically
conscious adaptations that will become increasingly necessary if we
hope to safeguard our fragile planet into the next century.
