Review of Navajo Pentacostal [Scott Carrier]

Refreshing because it doesn't insist on making a point. The piece is a snapshot without a whole lot of caption. Caption would just get in the way.

Review of Navajo Pentacostal [Scott Carrier]

Good listening with more sound and less 'splain'n. Dig the reggae rhythms played on a Fender Stratocaster by a Navaho preacher. Ahh...revenge of the place documentarians who return to tip the balance from cause and effect, point / counter-point narrative journalism. Thank goodness for Scott Carrier's ears-wide-open nonlinearity.
