”Now this,” said one reviewer, ”is country. Just a couple of guys in a Texas honky tonk. ” Michael Ballew”s songs are a tapestry of Texas life and music. A lot of country, a little swing, a taste of Tex-Mex. It”s the sound of warm nights and cold beer. On numerous performances in the USA and Europe this nice Texan guy with his unmistakeable voice has proven how a full blooded musician can inspire any audience, just with his guitar and his voice. Michael Ballew puts his heart in every single performance, at big festivals, privat cowboy or ranch parties or just in front of three guests in a roadhouse somewhere on this planet. This CD is an impressive proof of his live-capabilities.

The 18 titles include Damned Ol” Beer, I Can”t Drive Home, Texas Gal, I”m Leavin” These Honky Tonks, Sixteen Tons, The Cowboy And the Preacher and I Love Texas.
