Dreams Soulful Country music with clever lyrics, taking the old country standards of heartache, cheatin', and drinkin', and turning out new ways of saying them. notes Kathy Coleman from TakeCountryBack writes: Tremendous plays on words run through Michael's songs, such as his sorrowful "Drifting with the Wind," featuring some beautiful pedal steel playing from Rüdiger Karahn (who also puts in some time on rhythm guitar), surprisingly lighthearted "Damned If You Do," and the incredible "Green to Whiskey Eyes," a truly authentic western swing two-stepping tune with fine, fine lyrics. Michael is a tremendously skillful writer. He works his words deftly, a craftsman, carefully putting each phrase right where it should be. With "Now There You Go Again," "Break It Easy," and "Open Road," he wraps things up neatly, and closes it all with the Bob Dylan cover. Overall,
this is a truly excellent disc. I enjoyed listening to every single
track, and have decided Michael Thomason belongs in my "most
listened-to" racks. I'm really happy he "fell in my lap,"
so to speak, and I eagerly look forward to hearing more from him. I
hope others find him, too. Check out Michael at
