Texas in the Man - good music
Good music from fellow Texas songwriter Mike Parrish
I like to plug local and/or Texas songwriters when I can. Although the CD came out in 2006, I just now got around to buying Mike Parrish‘s CD Texas in the Man. from MyTexasMusic.com. I’ve been listening to Mike for awhile on ReverbNation and finally decided I’d like to hear his music away from the computer. The more I listen, the more I appreciate the songwriting and lyrics of Mike Parrish and collaborator Sammy Hundley. Great guitar licks and songs you just want to sing along with. The heart and soul behind the album expresses exactly why I had to give up a solid civil service job in DC and make my way back to Texas. And any country dance-hall band that doesn’t have “I Can’t Tell You Goodbye” in their two-step lineup is just clueless.
