Comment:

Music. Nature. The two belong together. Patterns of sound in the natural world — the very rhythms of life — existed long before the first minstrel picked up a guitar and sent his own notes and tones back out into the universe; and with nature as inspiration, mankind has always felt an unquenchable urge to create order from the world's limitless possibilities, via harmony and melody. So here we offer you a bunch of artists who have spent quality time wandering woods, walking seashores, and roaming fields . . . before returning to the studio with a headful of blossoming ideas. This, fellow nature lovers, is where you'll find a full complement of 100-percent natural songsmiths, from Band of Horses to Department of Eagles.
