Music

I Can Feel the Wind.

This collection of 6 original songs covers themes ranging from melancholy looks at lost family history &  love gone by, to joyous takes on facing death & digging the dregs out of the honey jar. Recorded live in studio, it’s pure folk music: just my vocals and guitar.

You can listen to the songs below. If you want a copy of the CD for $5 (+$2 s&h), shoot me an email! Thanks!

Victory Music said: This brief, intimate folk statement is a delightful production…which brings together tradition and modern folk..Mike’s guitar at times is meditational, reminding me of the ragas of John Fahey… You can read the full review on their website.
