Mike plays the guitar like a Byrd. His strings do things that mine could never do. they obey the slightest finger-touch commands like a fine Reining Horse"- Friend, Ramblin' Jack Elliot"Mike's plowing new ground. He's not re-recording the old Hollywood matinee music from the 30's and 40's. You've got to have focus and keep producing good stuff. I think he walks that... He's better than all those newer western guys. -Ian Tyson"Mike is one of those with the cowboy in his heart. These songs are filled with braided rawhide and mission bells... Listen up friend"-Tom Russell: Texashere's a link from a review of"Rooted" from Freight Train Boogie.http://www.freighttrainboogie.com/newreviews.htm
