0. -- Main Announcement about AMERICAN ZEN featuring The Hippy Coyote --

Coyote Invents New Kind of Poetry, “Bass Poetry”

Each album is a new evolution of Coyote’s poetry. The first album, LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind, was a subdued, sincere, heartful reading. Coyote read the poetry as he had already performed it many times at various poetry readings in Utah.

The second album, LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer, had a wide variety of poetry reading styles from subdued to very dramatic to musical rapping. We began to record and edit each poem as if they were individual songs requiring their own unique sounds and effects.

The third album, LEVEL 3 = I Want You To Love Me, may not have the dynamic variety of the previous album, but for the first time, Coyote recorded bass tracks behind each of the twelve poems. Some poems may only have a single bass track, but others, such as “1,000 Sorrows For A Love,” and “Civilized World,” have three basses harmonizing with each other.

The album is also available at iTunes:

About Shaolin Records:
Shaolin Records was launched in 1984, releasing vinyl records and cassette tapes of Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and folk rock music from Santa Monica, California. Our Zen Buddhist objectives of Shaolin Records are to 'enlighten and entertain™.' During the 1990s while located in Utah, Shaolin Records sold cassettes and books for American Zen, Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Gongfu and Taijiquan, Tai Chi Youth, and parent book publisher, Shaolin Communications. In 2003, Shaolin Records became a digital recording studio using ProTools recording software and Apple Macintosh computers.

About American Zen:
American Zen is led by The Hippy Coyote who fronts the band on flute and acoustic guitar. Coyote is a renaissance man who writes all the music, lyrics, and poetry, then usually performs all the musical instruments on his album. The LEVEL 3 = I Want You To Love Me album is about a love affair that Coyote had with a Utah Kung Fu student of Shaolin Chi Mantis. The songs were sung in the order they are on the album with all backing vocals in one day. The poetry was recorded before Coyote decided to create his "Bass Poetry" by recording one or more Rickenbacker bass tracks behind his orated poetry.
