Yesteryear by Mike Williams
Mike completed recording all the tracks for Yesteryear in February 2026, concluding an ambitious project that spanned nearly 20 months. The album’s goal was to finally release a selection of previously unreleased original songs and demos written between 1979 and 1992. These archival recordings—originally captured on 4-track and 8-track machines, as well as reel-to-reel tape and cassette—have been faithfully revisited and re-recorded in full 24-track detail. The core album features ten songs, with Mike’s new 2026 composition, “Mr. Charles,” included as the eleventh track and special bonus. A vinyl release is anticipated by the end of March 2026.
