Mark Twain once said, “Thunder is impressive, but it is the lightening which does the work.” This thought closely expresses Mickey’s electrifying musical expressiveness, which carries within it both the deep and awesome rumble of thunder and the crackle, flash and power of lightening. His energy level is off the voltage meter, and his intensity and intelligence spark through even the most mellow passages. Like Me the Musicians on this CD are all Seasoned Nashville Session Players.
