Reporter Herald-GO Magazine 1/18/08) Michael Stone's debut album reveals a passion for songwriting and songcraft that only hints at his many influences. Stone's solid guitar work filters through blues, progressive rock and jazz, with a hint of soul tossed about for good measure. With a gritty edge, Stone's voice provides a powerful accompaniment to the playing, which includes nice rollicking piano moments, and rich harmonies. It's a fine introduction to his work -- Glenn BurnSilver ----------------------------------------------- Recent performances include: Karla Bonoff warmup-Rialto Theater -Loveland Tom Rush warmup - Rialto Theater-Loveland Wyoming Brewers Festival Greeley Stampede-CO.
