Sometimes simple is better

"I've enjoyed MT's music for a while now. Yes, it's relatively simple and yes, there is a distinctive sound, but the music is relaxing and sincere. This disc strips many of MT's previously-released tunes to almost the bare minimum.....MT and his guitar. If you liked the previously-relseased music, you'll enjoy the acoustic-only versions. If you've never heard MT before, this actually wouldn't be a bad place to start, though "Run this way forever" would be my first choice. This is actually (IMHO) a 4.5 star disc, but minus a 0.5 point penalty for use of the echo chamber effects. They're not excessive, and appear briefly on only a few tunes but, unfortunately, it is constant on one of my favorites (Yellow windows)."

"Hey, this is a great album - acoustic versions of some of his previous tunes plus a few you can't get on other discs. As I've stated before, this guy is an incredible artist and a super nice guy as well. He owns his catologue of music so he has creative freedom. This probably also accounts for the fact that he is not marketed as well and thus extremely underappreciated. You need to buy all of his CDs so start with any one of them...I recommend starting in order with Run This Way Forever. You can't go wrong. But for pete's sake PLEASE do not buy these titles used for forty bucks from some scammer. Contact the artist directly and order from him (just google his name). That way the money goes to the guy who makes this beautiful music .... and supports his efforts to make more of it. That's how he makes his living! Keep up the good work Michael!"
