Phoenix (Arizona), USA - Back in the Day-Live at Twenty-Nine Palms (Canyon Records CR-6373) is the tenth recording from Blackstone. Blackstone, of the Cree nation of Saskatchewan, Canada, is one of the most respected pow-wow groups in North America. Their new songs are always eagerly awaited and few on the pow-wow circuit match their singing and drumming.

In 1986, Dion and Terry Paskemin formed their first pow-wow group, performing under the name "Nukowachee", singing songs from other groups. Later that same year, the group attended a pow-wow in Alberta where they heard the Red Nation Singers perform songs in the Cree language.

Inspired by this performance, Paskemin became serious about singing at pow-wows and composing his own songs. The group's name, "Blackstone" is the English translation of Paskemin's grandfather's Cree name.

Ranking at the top in all major competitions, this championship drum group is well known throughout the western U.S. and Canada.
