This review is from: The Tyrant [Explicit] (MP3 Download)

I've been a fan of Mike Barfield and The Hollisters since 1995 and I showed up at every show with skeptics who turned into rabid fans. The first question out of everyone's mouth was always, "Why isn't this guy famous?". I'm still wondering that today. Mike has a great voice and is a supreme showman. Not only are the songs chock full of infectious hooks but they are burned on your brain after one listen. I feel like this is my little secret and I'm being selfish not telling the world how great a musician Barfield is and how much fun it is to watch him perform. This album is funky and fantastic and I was pleasantly surprised the first time I gave it a listen. His other bands are traditional country, retro country and americana but different than what you expect. Different in a good way. If you greet him after a show he is gracious and unassuming and thanks you for coming to his show.

I recommend buying all the Hollisters CD's and if you want to see him live Mike is in a band called The Stone River Boys. I'm not much of a fan of the other guy that sings but I LOVE all the songs performed by Mike. Check out Mike Barfield, The Hollisters, The Stone River Boys all on Facebook, MySpace and all have their own websites. Please ask him to make more CD's and make more songs available on here and iTunes in mp3 format.

Mike, put some more CD's on here for sale!! Every time I buy some I wind up giving them away to your new fans.
