John Richardson has surpassed himself with
a recording that has all the vivid drama of Celtic legend. John's
sensational drumming is complemented by the authentic violin
of Joe O'Donnell and the mystical sound of Uillean pipes played
by Aiden O'Brien. A rousing album on which the moods range from
reflection to celebration.

DRUMS OF A NATION
Bringing together the power of trance-inducing ceremonial drums with mystical layers of natural sounds, monochord and shamanic chant, Drums of a Nation creates a tremendous physical and spiritual intensity. The rhythmic sound of rain, and the beat of galloping horses hooves, blend perfectly with the hypnotic resonant drumming. John Richardson dedicates this recording to all those who share the belief that music, rhythm and sacred chant can change the world.

GODS AND GODDESSES BY JOHN RICHARDSON
Although titled GODS AND GODDESSES, the main inspiration behind this album of ethereal chant is actually just one God and Goddess - the feminine and masculine divinities of Radha and Krishna. The love between the two deities is considered to be the ultimate manifestation of divine love, and it's that sense of union that John Richardson and Pia sought to personify on this recording. Their intertwining vocals are both lilting and emotive, conveying a sweetness that fits the album's theme perfectly. Instrumentation-wise, the album skews towards light and celestial synth/keyboard backings, with shimmering effects and subtle tabla-based rhythm. It's a very upbeat, joyous album of chant that will surely lift the spirit and help you emulate the love between the divine in your own life.

Through evocative chant, skin drums and hauntingly beautiful instrumentation, the listener is drawn into a world of sacred communion and visionary healing, keeping the tribal spirit alive in us all.
John Richardson's second tribute to the Native American spirit pays homage to the power of rhythm and chant, inspired by traditional tribal rhythms. There is a strength and dignity to this music that can be a powerfully inspirational tool for meditation or other spiritual journeys.
Infectious rhythms from around the world, inspired guitar and vocals (featuring Pia) make this a remarkable recording from one of the leading creators of music for higher consciousness.
