An incredibly gifted composer and guitar player, Cam Newton reflects on the beauty and silence of Oregon"s High Desert. This is a "soul-touching" listening experience. Newton"s music reflects a deep love of, and commitment to, the natural world and the environment. Indeed, much of his composing has taken place in the high desert, mountains, and other remote environments, which can be felt in this recording. The Basin and Range country of Oregon"s High Desert has always been a touchstone and a source of solace, clarity, and inspiration for Newton. When one is immersed in the peace, expansiveness, and wild beauty of Oregon"s Outback, the Triple Muse appears: meditation/memory/song.
