    Mokai’s second studio album is a gem of mature songwriting and breathtaking performances.

    Featuring excellent fingerstyle guitar by Mokai, the album includes songs overflowing with intriguing lyrics, a couple of traditional folk-blues given the Mokai treatment, two instrumental solo guitar pieces, and a special recording of a song with lyrics taken from the writing of Jack London.

    The CD is beautifully presented with lush photography by art photographer Michael Rauner, in an earth-friendly packaging, included a recycled plastic tray.
