What started out as “the next album” in early 2020, got interrupted by the global COVID pandemic and historic, devastating fires in Oregon. But the music moved ahead, if haltingly, and became Days Like Today<\/em>. Eight original songs by Mike and Carleen are complimented by two Bill Staines songs, a Tim Hardin classic, and one of Doc Watson’s most beloved instrumentals, written by John D. Loudermilk.<\/p>\n

Mike and Carleen are joined by frequent collaborator, cellist Dale Bradley, percussionist Andy McCornack, and pianist Megan Perdue. See the liner notes (opens in new tab)<\/a>…<\/p>\n
