5.0 out of 5 stars Raw, passionate folk/rock songs..., September 4, 2000

I don't like putting music into catagories, but I really like this guy's style. First of all, he's authentic - sure, he's originally from New York or where ever and sings with a country/folk/bluesy twang, but when he talks about dusty roads, and hope in the faces of the down-and-outs, he means it - he's been there. His music talks about travelling the hard way, learning about the real world, and about people's dreams and fears. How many of us seeker/adventurers have the guts to get out there and do that, and how many of us could come away with these beautifully crafted songs?

I guess I should talk about the others artists who he could compare to: Well, maybe Dylan...Jakob Dylan (Wallflowers - but without the fortune or the name), Townes Van Zant, Lucinda Williams, Richard Buckner, Vic Chesnutt, Wilco and so on. I won't compare him to Dylan (Sr) but there are some moments on the album that make me think.

Great debut album, buy it for the song "If by chance we meet again" if nothing else. I happened upon it in a coffee shop mixed sampler that someone gave me. The rest of the sampler was throw away material, but this guy's music is NOT.

This stunning album stirs my soul. Glad I was exposed to this record through WRNR in Annapolis back in 99, cannot imagine the years that have followed without it. This record goes with October and November like the World Series and football.

Although this LP is several years old, it holds a longevity that a lot of the music that plays on the radio today does not. Mike Younger is still rising in this business and I think that as long as he is writing songs, there are those of us who will always be listening. My favorite songs on this LP are 'If By Chance We Meet Again" and "Somethin In The Air" (Poetic Genius). If you have not heard his new record, it is worth a buy. Mike Younger has matured in his singing and playing, he is tougher and more determined than ever to do the music business his way. Keep writing and singing Mike.
