Editorial Reviews

Michael Grimm, winner of season five of NBC's America's Got Talent (AGT), goes back to his roots for his self-titled album, working with Grammy-award winning producer Don Was (The Rolling Stones, Elton John and Bonnie Raitt among others), staying true to his Americana meets blue-eyed soul sound, and creating carefully crafted rock songs with a mature soulful delivery.
I became aware of Michael Grimm several years ago and jumped at the chance to work with him after he won AGT, says producer Don Was. Michael is one of the greatest vocalists I have ever had the privilege to record. He is a world class singer with a level of professionalism that is extremely rare.
The album features both original music written by Grimm as well as some classic covers and sounds that earned him the title of fan favorite on AGT. Lending their legendary talents to Grimm's record include Ann Wilson (Heart), Ian McLagan (Faces and work with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer), Davey Faragher (Elvis Costello, Cracker) and Greg Leisz (Avenged Sevenfold, The Eagles). Also, having played on over 30 Grammy-nominated albums, Kenny Aronoff provides drums on the album and the famous Waddy Wachtel, best known for his work with Keith Richards, Stevie Nicks and James Taylor, plays guitar.
It's me, describes Michael Grimm of his self-titled album. I am extremely proud of this album, it really showcases my love for different genres of music from country to soul R&B to rock, the classic Americana that I grew up with.
Judge Piers Morgan insisted Grimm's victory was well deserved: "Michael's genuine, he's sincere, he's very talented...He'll have a huge career. I think he's like a young Van Morrison."

5.0 out of 5 stars Southern...By the Grace of God May 17, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I first read Don Was was going to produce this album for Michael Grimm, I knew we'd be in for a real treat, and after listening through this amazing CD, I can honestly say this is even better than I expected. I really didn't like Grimm when I first saw him on AGT. I saw the sympathy card come out, and the humble act (which, as it turns out, was no act) and decided to hate him. Until he got past Vegas week. I just couldn't not like someone with that much talent, and musicianship.

The Sound: If the engineering on the CD reminds you of a really well-produced Bonnie Raitt CD, there's a reason for that. Don Was started producing for her back in the nineties - the one's that started winning the Grammies. The vocals are close, and everything is intimate when it's supposed to be, and dirty and loud when the mood calls for it. What I find really nice is the balance between the various guitars and the amazing cool organ sounds. This doesn't sound like a Daughtry album, or Top 40 rock. It sounds like the "blues" and "rock-n-roll" that it is, almost like you're sitting 20 feet away in a club somewhere on the Delta.

The Songs: The covers he chose to record for this album are all fantastic choices. Simple Man (Lynard Skynard), Stay With Me (Rod Stewart), You Don't Know Me (Eddy Arnold) are a few of the songs you'll find here. These are amazing interpretations that channel every great blues singer & guitarist that ever haunted a dive from Memphis to New Orleans. With just a dash of early Stones. Nice that he can take familiar material and make them sound like brand new songs. There are years of hard earned experience in that voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC May 31, 2011
Format:Audio CD
This new "Michael Grimm" CD transcends you to a time when music was REAL. It is a great mix of blues, pop, rock and country rock (covers and originals). He has an amazingly soulful voice that is almost addictive, and the instrumentation is fabulous. I especially love his original "Suddenly You Are". So much entertainment for so little money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!! May 17, 2011
By Lynn
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Michael Grimm's smooth, soulful vocals warm the heart, sooth the soul, stir the emotions, and excite the senses. His wide range of genres from country to soul, R&B to rock to pop can only be described as "Classic Americana" and this debut album has it all; including that raspy, grizzly, soulful, and powerful vocal that you just have to hear to believe. When he sings a cover it is like you are really hearing it for the first time; when he sings an original song they are amazingly heartfelt with beautiful lyrics and melodies. Every song on this album is fantastic; how many albums can you say that about. I have all of his albums to date and there is not a bad song on any of them. They are all great. How many artists can you say that about. He can sing it fast and hard or slow and passionate; whatever you like there is a genre and style for you in this album. He is the most amazing and exciting singer, songwriter, musician that has come along in over a generation. Michael Grimm is an amazing talent and is undoubtedly a "music legend in the making". Do your ears and soul a favor and buy this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars HEART AND SOUL PERSONIFIED May 17, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have loved his sound since the first note on AGT. For me, he's brought music back into my life. This album has a little bit of everything and there's not a bad song in the bunch. Every song can stand on it's own, covers and originals.

He is one of a kind in today's music and a gifted guitar player and song writer as well. Not only is this a great album, check out his previous releases, they are awesome as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars This boy can sang!! May 20, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been buying music for well over 40 years (yeah that's right-old people rock too) and this is the first album or CD I've EVER purchased without hearing one note in advance. Michael has renewed my faith in an artist's ability to produce (with the great Mr. Was) a product that doesn't have one bad song!

Please, please Michael don't allow someone no matter how esteemed a producer get a wild hair to over produce your incredible voice. You're pipes are enough...leave the "wall of sound" to those who can't warble a note.

This young man has the chops to stay in it for the long haul and I'll keep buying as long as he keeps "sangin'"

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-have CD May 29, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Michael Grimm is the greatest singer to have come out of a reality/talent show since Carrie Underwood. This is my second CD of his, and I love the first one so much, but I love love love this one even more. Every song is amazing! His voice is "music" to my ears, and I could listen (and did) to this CD over and over. What a great CD and what a great singer! Congratulations Michael, you are going to have a long and amazing career, and I hope I get the chance to see you in concert one day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! May 17, 2011
By Janice
Format:Audio CD
Michael Grimm A raw, bluesy sound that moves between soft and heart grabbing is what you get when you buy this album. Michael Grimm outdoes himself on "Fallin'", a remake that sounds like it was written especially for his unique voice. Every song has his signature sound. This album is well worth having and listening to over and over again.

Michael's New CD
I have all of his music that has been available to date and it's all great, whether it be his originals or covers. His style and voice are unique in today's music and that combined with the genius of Don Was is definately a must have!

Don't Buy It!!!!
Prior to buying the CD, you had the opportunity to listen to a sample of each song. This CD was never classified as "country". I think you have a hidden agenda.
