 On
Mike's first solo CD he
makes it clear that he's absorbed
a wealth of songwriting knowledge from the many artists with whom
he's played guitar. Stepping into the limelight and up to the
microphone, he delivers solid, convincing vocal performances in
10 insightful, sometimes rollicking, self-penned songs. The one
cover on the album is a glorious slide guitar version of The
Lion Sleeps Tonight, which will quench the thirst of guitar
groupies everywhere. Showing a range of influences from The Beatles
to Burt Bacharach to Tom Waits, the album moves from one strong
song to the next. Of course there are plenty of tasty guitar moments
on the disc, but the album rests firmly on the shoulders of its
powerful, imaginative songs. Reviewed
