I just wanted to follow up on the record I released this past May with an easy-access YouTube link. If you haven’t downloaded it yet this is an easy ‘one-click’ chance to take a quick listen to it:
It’s also in higher fidelity there than the playback option provided on Bandcamp (where it’s parked/you can download the record in the higher AIFF or WAV format: https://mikekrauseandthethirdexpression.bandcamp.com/album/instrumental-americana). The project was done with the help of some very talented friends (more info on them below) and I hope you enjoy it/let me know what you think!
