This is Mike's debut album, released in 1997. Mike Farley is about songs, universal songs regarding the human condition that are as familiar as your favorite pair of jeans. His unique style of Acousti-Scream Pop combines Mike's coffeeshop bred acoustic guitar singer/songwriter panache with the electrified pit stop grit of his backing band. In his quest to save songwriting, Mike has accepted his position as ringmaster in the celebrity death match between James Taylor and Jack White.........In other words he is stripping music to its most fundamental unmentionables, THE SONG, without becoming lo-fi.
