The new cd soul shine is great, from start to finish. The live shows can tell you these guys love what they do, and are awesome at it. Ihave seen the MOB several times and I will go watch them every chance I get. Keep on rockin out to Steve Earl.

I Love this whole cd. I am a country person as well and live in Blossom, Texas. Keep up the good work O'Neal. This is great, I listen to it often.

This cd has grabbed my attn from the first line of, " I walked into the pawn shop " . This is a truly classical album and I so expect to see him going into the hall of fame. The words ring so true to almost every working man. I cannot put into words how much I enjoy listening to this cd. It let's you know other people go through the same things you do. I expect it to go triple platinum before all is said and done. This is rtrue Texas music and thank you Mr. O'neal for this gift you have given to the world. You could've ignored your talents but you chose to share them and for that I thank you. So, THANK YOU ! A perfectly flawless album ! 10 stars.

This album is the real deal. I haven't heard anything this stirring in music, country or otherwise, in a very long time. Comparisons to Steve Earle are ridiculous because Michael O'Neal blows him away. He's more of a Chris Knight character - lonely, dusty stories of folks who you'd most likely ignore are at the forefront of his songs. Compelling, honest stuff. One of my favorite albums.

sure am glad to see someone from paris contributing to the texas music scene. keep up the good work!

Dark side of a small town is a great album.There is not a bad song on the cd. 52 les paul, halfway house, and robs blues, it does not get any better than that

Oneal says it all on this album.I heard his first album with him and his guitar and this one with the M.O.B.and it just dont get any better. Keep on makin music for our kind.

WOW! IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM CHECK HIM OUT! WOW!

Michael has been blessed with the gift of seeing people and their situations deeper and more closely than most. This CD is a solid addition to any collection and will be enjoyed. See his live show soon. Good dang time. T.L-H

Michaels music is as trus as the day is long,true inspirational songs about every day people,and situations.Dark,deep and moving.Its as real as it gets
