The new 10-song CD recorded live at Poet House

Lin van Hek and Joe Dolce have been performing and singing together for forty years. This no-overdubbed recording was done in the intimacy of Poet House. The songs were performed in one or two takes by Lin and Joe and the legendary Siiri Metsar engineered and mixed the songs in a small room, surrounded by Lin's marvelous paintings. Everyone was keen to create some magic and not get lost too much in the technical aspects of 'big studio' recording so this is as real as it gets. An array of ten songs, by five songwriters, three poets, with a couple of traditional ballads thrown in for 'comfort food'.
