Grammy nominated hit songwriter from Nashville, TN., Mary Ann Kennedy,
creates music that celebrates the horse. A level 3 Parelli natural
horsemanship student herself, Mary Ann seems to express what we all feel
in our hearts for our beloved horses and the life we all live with them.
Through melody, rhythm and humor in song, this is music that we horse
lovers can listen and ride to. At the request of Linda Parelli, Mary Ann
penned a special 'fluidity' theme song called "When You Carry
Me". She also honors a saying by Pat Parelli in the song "Green
on Green" (makes black and blue). Along with her former "The
Trail Less Traveled" released in 2002,"Hoofbeats,Heartbeats
& Wings" is indeed OUR music. Music from the heart about horses
and the animals we love. There's none other like it.
"I have 2 passions in my
life. The love of horses and animals, and the love of
music. "The Trail Less Traveled" and the newly released
"Hoofbeats, Heartbeats & Wings" embraces them both.
My two soul animals: my dear pug, Choy, and the colt I raised,
Tonka, shared a birthday on May 16th. Choy was 15 years old and
Tonka was 9 when their souls flew away together in August of 2000.
Through my deep grief, little did I know that they would inspire a whole
new chapter in my life. I began writing songs about them and other
animal loves of my life. Death and rebirth, the circle of life....it
is amazing and I continue to be grateful. They are now my angels,
they're 'not really gone'.
My hope is that
hearing this music will inspire healing, joy and celebration
of life."

"Mary
Ann Kennedy and I have known each other and worked together for
almost 20 years. We share a passion for music, and have been
fortunate
enough to make our "living" at it. But,
we also share another passion, a
deep love for animals, all
animals and especially the ones who have graced
our lives by their
presence in our lives.
'The
Trail Less Traveled' celebrates that grace and the special
relationship we have with these beings that bring us closer to our
humanity by showing us love that is truly unconditional. This
record is for anyone who has been down that trail. We still
have a long way to go, but thanks to Mary Ann, we now have a
soundtrack for the journey."

NEWS FLASH!
ANNOUNCEMENT:
MARY ANN RELEASES 2 BRAND NEW SONGS
AVAILABLE NOW on iTunes and CD Baby MP3 !!!!!
Dear
Kindred Spirit Horse Lovers:
"2007
has been a year full of wonderful experiences. You can read about some of
them on the BUZZ page. Besides my normal horse keeping, I also took in 3
mares who needed a lot of TLC and physical and emotional rehab. My already
full schedule got fuller, and I decided to wait until 2008 to record and
release the next CD "THE RHYTHM OF THE RIDE".
However, I wanted to have something fresh for you and your horses…..NOW!
:)
Inspired by my natural horsemanship
journey, and Pat & Linda Parelli,
I recorded "MIRROR MIRROR" & "HEART IN YOUR HANDS"
available for download on iTunes and CD Baby MP3 NOW !
I was
honored to debut these songs at the SAVVY CONFERENCE in Pagosa Springs,
September 7- 9.
I know everybody doesn't have an ipod yet, please forgive and know that
the 2 new songs will be on the new CD available for purchase in ‘08. We
will keep you posted on the exact release date. Again, words cannot
express how deeply appreciative I am for the opportunity to share my deep
love of horses and animals through my music, with you...KINDRED
SPIRITS."
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEARTS AND EARS !!
Mary
Ann Kennedy

Customer
Reviews!
Below are just a few of the many reviews we have been receiving from Mary
Ann's fans and customers who listen to her music and have purchased her CDs..................
"Hoofbeats, Heartbeats &
Wings" CD
"This
CD is uplifting and a beautiful expression of love for horses. My kids and
I put the CD on and turn it up on the way to the Ranch. Being Parelli
students too, her words about the way we love our horses and nature really
hit home. I love the mix of genres of music. You hear some country, some
American Native, some Celtic sounds all set to a wonderful short story in
each song. This CD will make you feel great about your love for horses,
nature, all of God's masterpieces."
"What
an awesome CD this is. Very seldom do you find something in life that
makes you smile through tears and reaches deep into your soul. Ms. Kennedy
has a beautiful voice, the musicians are wonderful, and the lyrics are
incredible. Ms. Kennedy has expressed for us all what our horses (and
other animals) means to us. I strongly urge anyone who enjoys great music
and loves their horses to buy this CD. You will not be disappointed.
Instead, you will be uplifted. Kudos, Ms. Kennedy. You and your music are
priceless."

"The Trail Less
Traveled" CD
"If
you love animals, you will love this CD. If you love horses, this is a
must have. If you enjoy the horse life and the associated interests like
barn cats and cattle dogs, this will give you joy and big smiles. And if
you are at all into natural horsemanship, the artist's message will WARM
your heart. I still can't sit still in some of the songs and others still
give me a little tear in the corner of my eye even after the many times I
have played them. I buy this CD often for gifts for special people. After
you hear it, I think you will too!!"
"This
CD puts into words the feelings I feel, but can't put to words myself.
This music, not to mention Mary Ann's soulful voice, reaches out and
touches the heart of anyone who listens to it. It will make you laugh and
it will make you cry...just as the animals who touch our lives do
everyday! Here's to Mary Ann for raising our consciousness in celebrating
how much joy our horses, dogs, cats and all animals, bring to our
existence on this planet. THANK YOU, MARY ANN!!!"
