 RadioIndy is pleased to present John Neville with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Bird Songs of the North American Prairie"
Nature recorder John Neville is at it again with “Bird Songs of the North American Prairie,” a 182-track double CD release that gives the listener the pleasure of hearing the calls of 168 birds and, as an added bonus, six mammals. Neville narrates over each of his live recordings, informing the listener about which bird they are hearing. This release, like his others, serves a wonderful, instructional, and informational purpose, especially for those interested in birdcalls and bird watching. “Bird Songs of the North American Prairie,” is well-produced, and Neville’s narrative dubs, as well as his initial live recordings are lively and distinct. “Cd1 Introduction” introduces the release with Neville informing the listener that he is spending sixteen weeks recording these birds, many of which are rare and nearing extinction. “Common Loon” displays the calming night chorus of the common loon on a lake. The majority of the other tracks are as straightforwardly approached, so if you’re curious about one particular bird you can skip right to it. “Bird Songs of the North American Prairie” is a success, both as an instructional album and as an exploration of nature, and should be picked up by anyone interested in birdsongs and birdcalls. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
