Album Review
Little Hawk's 1492-1975 is a concept album written and performed by Canadian singer/songwriter Troy Westwood, former lead singer of the ethnic fusion band Eagle and Hawk. According to the album's liner notes, Westwood researched and wrote the lyrics of these 14 songs before he met co-producer Chris Burke-Gaffney and multi-instrumentalist Luke McMaster, who provided the majority of the musical settings, and that's entirely obvious upon listening to the album. Westwood's wordy narrative lyrics are ploddingly literal, making the album sound like a musical history lesson about Native American life from Columbus' first landing to the April 1975 shootout between the FBI and members of the American Indian Movement. The tunes are mostly utilitarian at best; only the spooky "Do You Eat This Gold?," detailing the eradication of the Aztec empire, really works as a song. 1492-1975 works well as a teaching aid, but it's a bit of a slog as an album.
Customer Reviews
Most likely the worst album I have ever heard.
I found this album in a Native American store and purchased it, thinking that it would be a cultural experience to listen to some Native American music. I was horribly mistaken and should have done my research. This album is not even sung by a Native American; it was created by some Canadian who read a few history books and decided to write a few songs about Native American mistreatment. The lyrics blatantly tell a story, which would be fine for a child to listen to. However listening to this album was like a combination of ambient and electronica, with a hint of Simon and Garfunkel...not exactly the Native American experience I was looking for. Anyone could have created a better album, and I beg you to save your money unless you need a good laugh.
