This music was inspired, written and created for one of God’s most incredible creatures; the wolf.
This CD [Kindred Spirits] is special to me because the songs are dedicated to individual animals here at the center and if you close your eyes and listen, you will be able to hear their story
If you asked for my personal opinion, I would say that this music is really something extraordinary since it has an ability to break down all the barriers helping us to understand each other better.
This wonderful, mystical and very expressive music comes directly from the heart. If I were asked to describe it with three words, I would say “beautiful, peaceful and, more important, happy”. That’s why I enjoy listening to it and telling my audience about it.
"Kindred Spirits" by Aaron Lawrence is a unique and intriguing approach to ambient/new age music. Gathering inspiration from the mystic creature known as the wolf, Aaron's Native American compositions demonstrate a great talent for creating tunes that are pacifying and spiritual in nature. Appropriately mixed with sounds of nature (such as the sounds of waterfall in "Stream Song" and wolves crying in "Choir Practice"), these tunes carry about a new dimension of unrestricted life. When all is said and done, it is easy to see that this CD successfully connects with listeners on a deep spiritual level.

Aaron Lawrence is a man with a passion. Not for football, or pizza, or driving fast, no. Wolves.
With close ties to the Colorado Wolf & Wildlife Center, Aaron Lawrence creates a wholeheartedly native American sound with flute, keyboard and percussion, combined with nature's sound effects - singing birds, running water, crickets, howling wolves and other such wildlife. This is not meant to be music for the charts, this is not music that you will hear on MTV, this is relaxed, natural music by a passionate man in touch with his spirit.
Lyrics in Kindred Spirits are spoken, thanking the Lord for animals and wildlife against a flute backdrop and singing wolves, conjuring up images of man sitting alone on a rock, playing a flute and looking out over a meadow where a few cattle graze.
Pan-pipe enthusiasts should take note, this highly native sound is not dissimilar. Aaron Lawrence creates a deep, spiritual, relaxed and contented mood that sends the listener into a calmer, more soothed world.
And the most commendable thing about Aaron Lawrence is that he donates a portion of it to the Colorado Wolf & Wildlife Center. Respect.
Long live Colorado.
