4.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful discovery for me., February 19, 2007
This review is from: Living from a Suitcase (Audio CD)
A shame that amazon doesn't have samples linked here, but if you want to hear before buying (as I did), go to Mike Therieau's website. I was convinced by the song "Wear You Off My Mind." In fact, on that one track only both song and singer sounded so much like Joe South, whose music I treasure, that I had to look really hard at this guy's picture. The cd is a little uneven in places, hence 4 stars (can somebody please throttle back on the lady singing the backing vocals on "Wear You Off My Mind" -- an otherwise terrific number), but some of the songs aren't just pretty good, they're majorly impressive: "Creeping Around," "I Stole a Heart," the title track, and "Devil Make My Bed" remind me of the good old days when soul met country and rock, and life was good and music was even better. And yet, these songs are fresh, this guy isn't just imitating the old stuff. This cd is well worth the money, and I'm looking forward to what this guy comes up with next.

Sounds like Paul Rodgers but maintains own identity. Great earthy, soulful, american music. It's obvious Mike Therieau loves the music he makes so well!
