American Zen was founded in 1992 when Coyote moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. Originally, Coyote only planned to substitute for his musician buddies... but by this third album he realized he needed to become the drummer he kept hoping would return to the band. During the final recording of the LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer album, Coyote got a drum set (on Valentine's Day),. He vowed not to record a single beat for an entire year while he improved his drumming skills. Then he recorded this album, LEVEL 3 = I Want You To Love Me by American Zen.

About American Zen
American Zen is led by The Hippy Coyote who fronts the band on flute, acoustic guitar, percussion and vocals. Coyote is a renaissance man who writes all the music, lyrics, and poetry. Although credit is given to the band members, Coyote is performing all instruments and all vocals. Coyote intentionally acted in the various roles to create vocal styles and performances in the manner and character of his musical egos, personified with a mix of himself and his favorite bandmates of the past. The LEVEL 3 album cover was shot by Nancy Volrath in the Hollywood Hills.
