Hakan gives us a voice like John Denver's, wit like John Prine's and the subtle poetry of John Gorka. This collection draws from several years to give us a Greatest Hits of songs most often requested by live audiences. Many of these songs have won songwriting awards, including Salt & Pepper Days, Barbara's Place and Socrates & the Angel of Death. This is a No Drum product. The guitar and vocals come through without getting buried in the production. There's some tasteful cello, accordion, banjo and fiddle used sparingly throughout this album. You can understand every word. The guitar sound is clear and luscious. The melodies will have you whistling in the shower and the stories will get you wondering about the world in new ways. Don't miss this one.
