Whispers And Sighs is the final studio album by the late David Olney, beloved folk songwriter's songwriter, in collaboration with Anana Kaye, a young Eastern European powerhouse taking Americana by storm. If the futile longing to reach back through memory and grasp what is in the past could be set to music, it would sound like Whispers and Sighs. Over the course of 13 tracks, David Olney and Anana Kaye manage to craft a journey that amounts to far more than just another Americana album. And while it's hard to escape the seeming cosmic significance of the album as posthumous Olney release, at no point does this create the air of morbidity; rather, it lends the project a bittersweet ambiance. Within Whispers And Sighs is an undeniable reminder that David Olney's extraordinary legacy can never fade, while Anana Kaye's star grows deservedly brighter by the day.
