I was unfamiliar with troubadour Mike Struwin, until I received his new holiday album, Forgotten Hymns, and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by this rootsy, folksy interpretation of African-American spirituals and Appalachian hymns.

Excellent percussion... excellent bass player too... great use of congas and acoustic, a favorite pair, well recorded...Cut 7 is a surprise and 8 is a cool way to start... I am going to use cut 10 and 1 on my XM radio show...

If this is "all you" songs, you should have a great future...This is good enough in my ears to 'get a deal'... best of luck with your work!
