CD Review: Yoga Revolution

It's not often I get something for free.  And when I do get it for free, it's usually some useless sample size cosmetic tucked inside my Sephora order (3 free samples with every online order!)  How can I really tell if Kinerase "erases" crows feet if you only give me a 2-nights' worth?  Don't these things usually take up to 8 weeks?!?
Anyway, as a loyal subscriber to Yoga Journal (I sometimes think I'm the only non-instructor subscriber!) I had the chance to win a preview copy of this Yoga Revolution CD.  In reality, the fine copy hinted at the fact that this was a "Various Artists" series that would be debuting, and I could subscribe to receive the upcoming CDs as they were released.  Kind of "NOW that's what I call Music" for the yoga-set.  I sent in the postage-paid card, and waited.  By the time the CD arrived, I was pleasantly surprised, simply because I had forgotten that I sent away for it! 
The wait (even though I had forgotten I was waiting!) was well worth it!  This is a fabulous CD...I listen to it all the time in my car; I brainstorm which postures in my home practice would work for each track; I fantasize that I'm a yoga instructor putting together a class to these tunes; I daydream that I walk into a studio class, and my favorite track from this CD is playing (which favorite?  I have a couple, depending on my mood!)
The low-down on my faves:
The CD opens with a bang with Krishna Das and "For your Love".  It's a little Kirtan, a little Rock, and it works.  The second track, "Salala" featuring Peter Gabriel, is one of my true faves.  It's singable, and I just the love the guitar and bongos.  There are tracks featuring mainstream heavy-hitters like Sarah McLaughlin, Sting, Seal, and Ziggy Marley.  Sheryl Crow even shows up with a lesser-known song from her TuesdayNightMusicClub album, "I shall Believe".  People who aren't familiar might think it's a new song, but nope.  It's from 1993.  Another favorite is "Ganesha" by Wah! - completely singable, and "vinyasable".  As with all compilation CDs, it's a good chance to hear songs by artists you might not otherwise know about or be motivated to hear.  What's unique to this compilation is that just about every song is totally listenable!
I know I got it for free, but I'd say it's worth buying...whether you buy it for practice, for cruising around town, or just for chilling at home.  If they decide to produce more Yoga Revolution CDs, they have a tough act to follow!  Then again, I have Wah! and YogiMC on my Pandora, so the search shouldn't take too long to put together a decent set. 
Yoga Revolution is available NOW on Amazon for $13.61.
