“The natural beauty of the flute evokes very powerful emotions. The traditional flute is social, not ceremonial, in nature and should always be treated with that in mind and spirit. Joseph Fire Crow
In 1992, Fire Crow recorded the album, The Mist. Two years later, in 1994, he released a second self-produced recording, Rising Bird. These recordings were sold only at concerts.
In April of 1996, his self-titled release, FIRECROW, was one of the first recordings to be launched nationally on the Makoché label and is one of the label’s best sellers. Echodisc said in a review of Fire Crow, “Joseph Fire Crow is quite simply one of the most gifted players of the Native American flute, this is beautifully recorded.” Another reviewer described Fire Crow as a “national treasure.”
Fire Crow’s follow-up, CHEYENNE NATION, combined a soulful mixture of traditional flute and contemporary instrumentation to earn a GRAMMY nomination at the 43rd Annual Awards.
In November of 2003, Fire Crow’s LEGEND OF THE WARRIOR received top honors for both the Native American Music Awards “SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR,” as well as the Indian Summer Music Awards FLUTE CATEGORY WINNER.
Fire Crow’s collaborative effort with Jim Cockey lead to the composition of “Parmly’s Dream,” from the CD Signature. This release won FireCrow the “BEST INSTRUMENTAL RECORDING” Award at the 7th Annual Native American Music Awards.
Fire Crow’s latest effort, RED BEADS, was released in late August of 2005. Red Beads comes full circle with a return to the traditional. This recording includes Fire Crow’s mother, Elva Stands In Timber. Joseph was honored to have her join him. This release won FireCrow the “FLUTIST OF THE YEAR” Award at the 8th Annual Native American Music Awards.
In 1995 Fire Crow’s songs, "Creator’s Prayer" and "Wind in My Mind" were selected to open and close the best selling album Tribal Winds: Music from Native American Flutes on the Earthbeat label. Ken Burns also chose some of Fire Crow's music to be included on the soundtrack for his documentary "Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery.” In addition, Fire Crow is a major contributor to several European releases, including Shaman, Circles of Life and Medicine Power on the German label, Sattva. Most recently, Fire Crow’s music was featured on Public Broadcasting Service’s film, The War that Made America.
FATHER CHRISTMAS OF LOVE As birds am I going to know how to one day steal height with my body of love? As fishes am I going to know how to one day swim at the bottom of an ocean of love? As planets am I going to know how to one day go to the conquest of our Universe of love? By the magic of a poem am I going to know a day with the words that I sow to be a Father Christmas of love?
