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.

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.

Great songs, performance and production.

Disclaimer: I played on one song. Doesn't matter, I love the record.
