What can I say except this is great, I had just about given up hope of ever hearing these great songs on a CD. Believe me the old albums just weren't made to last this long. These songs hold a lot of old memories for me and bring back some vivid road trip visions of the Southwest. Thank you, Raven Records, please bring back some more of Michaels early albums. Too many people know him only from his recent cowboy work and songs like Wildfire and Whats Forever For. These are great songs but he had so many wonderful pure, bare, and uncluttered songs from his early years that deserve hearing. To me, he is to the southwest what John Denver was to the Rockies, only a little less polished. If you love songs about nature, wanderlust, the road, and cowboys without the glitz of modern country give this a try. Thanks again, I feel like I've found an old friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Austin Years, November 14, 2006

This review is from: Geronimo's Cadillac (Audio CD)

This and Cosmic Cowboy Souvenir are very fine examples of what was happening in Austin, TX during the early seventies. Murphey eventually moved on to a slicker sound, but these two are down-to-earth jewels.
The sticker on the covers say they were culled from the original master tapes, but I highly doubt that. These discs lack the qualities that are evidence of such a claim - but that won't be a problem for the average buyer - just for the audiophile who buys every disc with the highest of hopes.

This is also available on Universal's specialty label, Hip-O Select. It comes in a mini cardboard gatefold replica of the original LP, but it doesn't include a nice booklet like this one has. The one thing it DOES have going for it is the sound; improved depth, imaging, and resolution are all apparent when played on a high-end system.
