David Olney, Anana Kaye Whispers And Sighs CD

On Whispers and Sighs, David Olney and Anana Kaye craft a journey that amounts to far more than just another Americana album. This is to be expected with Olney, an acclaimed songwriter responsible for more than 20 solo albums and songs covered by and/or co-written with the likes of Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, and Linda Ronstadt, among others. Further, just as Townes Van Zandt reportedly saw something special in him, Olney felt a similar kinship towards Kaye, a smoky-voiced Americana darling whose star is on the rise in Nashville, and her husband and musical partner Irakli Gabriel, both of whom are originally from the country of Georgia. And while it's hard to escape the seeming cosmic significance of the album as a posthumous Olney release, within it is an undeniable reminder that David Olney's extraordinary legacy can never fade, while Anana Kaye's star grows deservedly brighter by the day.
