Reviews of the CD Beyond the Cedar Moon by Craig Olson:

Scott Martin, Pagan Rock on the Web:
“. . . a full moon drumming circle jamming with Bruce Hornsby. . . rich acoustic guitar and piano accompaniment, lushly supporting songs of honest love, celebration, and reverence for the Earth. As good as anything you’ll hear.”

“. . . the Don Henley of Pagan music. Buttery voice, excellent production and thoughtful lyrics make this a must-have!”

“Beyond the Cedar Moon is Pagan music at its best, with lyrics that speak to our experience and music that speaks to our souls. Most highly recommended.”

Earth centered spiritual music with a folk rock feel that is great to listen or dance to.  The music expresses a deep spirituality and reverence for nature.  . . Many of the songs appropriate to include in ritual celebrations.

Talisman Winterhawk, The Denver Pentagram:
“Good songs, great harmonies, clean guitars and production get this album a must get for your collections!”

Joseph Ponder, The Every Other Weekly:
“. . . evocative and exquisite vocals . . . great songs with universal appeal and some really exceptionally well-written and catchy music.”

Betsy Fox, Cronies - Pagan/Goddess Resource Guide:
“. . . a rich and varied tapestry with the themes of nature, love, and the Goddess emerging in a soulful and energetic pattern throughout. The songs evoke imagery that pagan folk will truly be moved by, yet one need not be pagan to understand his music. He has developed a style that is his own, and it comes through in each song . . . a very accessible sound, with likeable hooks and clear lyrics.”

Marione Thompson Helland - Editor, The Beltane Papers:
“To hear the deep, pure, beautiful sounds of your voice and guitar, it gives me such deep pleasure. Music grabs the mind, body, spirit and emotions like nothing else can. Now my spirit is in touch with magic again. Thank you!”
