It's a beautiful collection of inspired tunes, lovingly recorded and passionately played. Thanks so much for turning us on to your work. we also dug the vintage LP-look of the CD.

"I put this CD of Mike's on in my car, not knowing what to expect. The last time I heard Mike it was in the 60's doing pop rock and later playing for Bob Dylan. I was surprised to discover the direction he took for this album. Good ol' shit kickin' country. With a bunch of great players and early traditional grass root songs, I have a great time in my car spending time with Mike's vocals and playing. I look forward to hearing his other CD's."
