Americana Music at Its' Best

"This follow-up to "from the beginning" melds the best of Americana and roots rock and comes out smelling like a rose, a dixie rose that is. Michael kicks it off with the title track "Who's Bad Now" about one hot momma that many of us have known and a few of us have been lucky enough to marry (hope my wife reads this one). Don't forget to saddle up the horse and rollick to the best rodeo tune I've laid my ears on in "Cowboy Ride", now if I could just get rid of that smell. If you've ever experienced the Austin, Texas music scene just close your eyes and let Michael take you back on "Austin". Grab your beer and try to hold it together as he kicks the habit on "96 Tears" and find out what it takes to make a man feel "Better".
So when all is said and done Who's Bad Now? After a listen or two Michael ONeill is. Here's hoping the Grey Troubadour keeps rocking with heart and soul for many more releases."
