When I first heard Mike and Olivia Haberman play, I was immediately struck by how superb their songwriting abilities were. These songs are warm, friendly, and present subjects and people in such an intimate light you almost immediately feel that you know these people personally. This is songwriting at its best.
This album is simply but elegantly produced (Paul Ely Music), with instrumentation perfectly balanced to the subjects and the fantastic songwriting. Mike and Olivia take turns on acoustic guitar, Olivia soars on the penny whistle, and Mike simply rocks on the mandolin. Mandolin/fiddle legend Richard Kriehn and musician/producer Paul Ely Smith lend their fantastic talents as well to the songs, adding fills and solos just where they fit best.
