    "One of modern folk's criminally ignored and unjustly under appreciated artists." Apple ITunes

    "How It Is" was recorded in 5 days in Evan Brubaker's giant studio, with Holly on acoustic guitar, Tony Levin on bass, Jerry Marotta on drums, Dan Tyack on pedal steel, and Danny Barnes on banjo. Everyone played together...you know...like a band. Then some overdubs were done by Phil Peterson (Tennis Pro) on cello, Sean Halley on electric guitar, and Skip Peri on background vocals. It got great reviews, and label attention, which I had been trying to avoid for years. I succeeded in remaining independent, despite the major labels trying to sign me. Whew!

lyrics

I'm hard to live with
I'm hard to love
hard to get through to

and i know you are trying
but you're not enough
i can't get what I need from you

so why don't you just let me go

cause i'm impatient
but i'll make you wait
for all the things you need

and you get so angry
when I want things my way
anyone else would just leave

so why don't you just let me go

why don't you just let me go

I don't know how to tell you
i don't love you anymore
but i think you already know

you say its too hard
but what you mean is it don't come easy to you
and you can't tell the difference between the two

i'm hard to live with
hard to love
hard to get through to

i wish you'd stop trying
i wish you were enough
i wish so many things for you

you're gonna have to let me go.
