Caught Mikes show in Ft. Worth last night. The guy really puts on a great show. Very enjoyable and he can still rock!! Really looking forward to his new album.

caught mikes gig couple of weeks ago and had to say it was wierd. I expected the red dirt thing and was really disapointed with the rock scene i got. i have to say since he left the old band he is just not as good.

NEW ALBUM !!!!!! hell ya!

mike gave me his new cd "memphis", not due for release until next fall. he gave me full permission to put it on the web so check your kazaa for it.

Look at the last review for Mike. "The listener" obviously knows McClure’s music and understands what it's about. I personally couldn’t give a rat’s ass about how many changes he has had in his band. The fact remains that his music is great. His lyrics are extremely clever, and anything he works on ends up being well worth your time and money. He just doesn’t create music that’s half assed. I know it’s difficult for many of these folks that review him negatively to use their heads for something other than a hat rack. But I guess not everyone was blessed with a brain. Just take a gander at how many positive reviews there are. He wouldn’t get so much positive attention if his music didn’t compel people to speak their opinions. Also notice that he’s been getting bashed only recently. I have to agree with the theory he pissed someone off because he wouldn’t sign their cowboy hat. For any naysayers, I’ll continue to support him and I hope it gets your goat!

I guess some people are just too shallow to understand the music..Mike's songs take a little deeper thinking then some are willing to use.. As far as "keeping a band together"...Have you ever done it..It's like trying to keep a pre-school field trip together..My guess is that you love the music, but he probably wouldn't sign your cowboy hat and it pissed you off..This isn't about degrading people..It's about the songs...So if anyone is reading this and wanting a "review" of the music..? You can't go wrong with anything that he has put out...As for the rest of you...Get a girlfriend..Or life..Or just shut the fuck up..You are actually making people dummer in this world...Don't have kids.

Dealer, get a grip! Every band goes through changes. It's all part of it sometimes. When you are the main guy out there you have to be comfortable with everyone around you to make it work. You have to find the right mix of talent and personality. That's what makes a successful band. Mike's songwriting is what it is all about. Not who is playing bass that week.

Come on now, Mike McClure made the Great Divide the band that it "was". After his leaving the band can't be compared to it's former self. As far the pipe is concerned, I guess you had better start slamming every band you have ever seen because the influence has always been there and always will. Mike's talent is spread much farther than TGD. He obviously is not some crazed junkie who has no concept of professionalism. And if there is some influence other than pure creativity that allows him to write some of the most clever tunes ever, then get after it Mike. I feel sorry for the very few that don’t get the pleasure out of your music that everyone else does.

These guys are one of a kind. I have seen and met with them and they are pretty cool. Their slogan twice as loud, have as popular is right. So if you want to go to a good concert with prolly great seats these guys are it.

I would have to say that this album is the best album i have bought in along time that you can actually put it in your cd player and let it play all the way thru. Kudos to you guys. Keep up the good work...
