Artist Review
I got a two for one golden deal when I bought the EP at a MMB show and also picked up Rodney Pyeatt's "Texas Beer Joint Tour" out of curiosity. Both guys are legendary in the RedDirt/Texas genre...but together they are more than regionally appealing. McClure's songs are moving and complimented by the soulful guitar playing of Pyeatt. The personalities of the two on stage mesh and the music is something like you have never heard. Get both of these cds. You won't be sorry. After listening to "Texas Beer Joint Tour" the only thing missing in the show is Pyeatt's lack of an arena to show off his vocals.

I feel that Mike McClure is clearly one of the most significant song writers of the last decade. The medium he presented his songs through was one he never felt comfortable in. As a result Mike changed his medium and now has more freedom to take us all on his musical journies through his mind. Just sit back and enjoy it people. Don't try to figure this guy out,because you can't. He is simply the best at describing the life we all live in a way that makes you smile and say "yeh, I been there". Enjoy the music of one of the best.

No rating for the MMB band. Way too early to make a determination. Talent . . . absolutely yes, but too early in the new format to determine the extent. As a songwriter, Mike was unequaled in the red music scene. As much as he wants to distance himself from that genre, he will forever be linked for his amazing stint with the Great Divide. His skills were on showcase in that time and period. As a "rock and roll" artist, he has the right influnces, but the caliber of music is just not there right now. Having had the chance to see TGD when they were still intact, I will say the song writing and performances were grounbreaking. Take it back as far as you might (the Red Dirt movement, Texas Music Revolution or whatever your nomenclature for the progressing genre we are priveleged enough to experience is, Mike's new journey with the MMB is, from my unique viewpoint, uninspriring. Incredible musician, beyond reproach songwriter ... Yes. Mike McClure is, without a doubt. The medium with which he has chosen to share his unique talent with the collective masses, is not his best arena. I absolutely support his journey into the "rock and roll" world, and will always be interested in what he puts out, but, as an honest fan and critic - believe the GDV era was, and will be for a long time, unsurpassed in their ability to affect emotion upon their audience. The songwriting in that foregone era was beyong reproach. Mike, chase the dream - I, for one, will keep a light on for you.
