“Mike Berman's album "Where I'm From" contains a cycle of original songs that echo those exciting days when the folk revival began to produce young writers and bands in the burgeoning folk-rock explosion of the Southern California sixties scene. When bands like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and the Flying Burrito Brothers started mapping out the harmonies and instrumental textures that would characterize the next decades of popular music. Mike's songs uphold that tradition and are evidence that the California sound is alive and in good hands.” - Steve Gillette
