Editorial Reviews

Harp Magazine

..."the nostalgic "All At Once" and the gorgeous "Madame" prove he’s a songwriter to be reckoned with."

Product Description

In the late 1990's Mic Harrison was a member of the alt-country band the V-Roys. The band put out two and half (an EP) discs on Steve Earle's label, E-Squared, before calling it a day and releasing their swan song, "Are You Through Yet?". Mic went on to form The Faults and after only one record he moved on to join alt-rockers, Superdrag. Although Mic released a pre V-roys solo record, "Pallbearer's Shoes" marks the debut of a mature writer and seasoned musician. Co-produced with Superdrag's Don Coffey, the album also features appearances by members of Superdrag (Don and John Davis), ex V-Roys bandmates (Scott Miller and Paxton Sellers), Guided by Voices (Doug Gillard) and Todd Steed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mic Harrison: Knoxville Favorite, June 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Pallbearers Shoes (Audio CD)

Pallbearer's Shoes was just released (...). But, I have been lucky enough to hear Mic recording this album for the last couple of months here in Knoxville. I have been fortunate enought to sit in during several recording sessions at 613 Studios while this album was being created. So, in a sense, I've had an advanced sample of this album.
Although Superdrag may be having some difficulties as of the present, on this album Mic Harrison proves he has staying power as a solo musician. Each song has been maticulously crafted in to a small work of art. Mic's heart and soul has gone into this album. This is most obvious on tracks like Back to Knoxville, which -if i remember correctly- was written shortly after the death of his father. The laid back and often soulful country-rock nature of Harrisons writing keeps his albums interesting enough to listen to straight through, and over again.
I appreciate what Mic Harrison has done with this album. It would be a shame for anyone to miss this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Music (period)., June 2, 2004

Mic Harrison's new album can be summarized as an ideal combination of upbeat country rock tunes as well as gentle, heartfelt ballads.

Harrison avoids over-indulgent commercial sounds and sticks to the music that he obviously enjoys. Some songs reflect a Gram Parsons sound while others are reminiscent of the Stones' rock/blues perfection.

Pallbearers Shoes should be purchased by anyone who is in the mood for some great rock.
