Some purists have since pointed out that it's "not exactly live" - because we didn't record in front of a live audience. And we also gave ourselves the luxury of playing each song several times, and then selecting the best takes.  But our goal with this project was to have a CD of exactly what we sound like - if we walk onto your stage - without any overdubs or production magic - and, mission accomplished!  

"Live and Alive" is an eclectic collection of songs that I've written over the past ten years and for whatever reason, hadn't yet recorded.  There's also one song that Rachael and I wrote together a long time ago, called "Land of Dreams", (and for some reason, had never recorded!), as well as my favorite traditional folk song, "The Water is Wide."   Hope you enjoy it!
