is a collection
of 11 songs, 5 of which are Michael's originals*.
All are very listenable and, but for one ballad, "Night Wings",
all are very danceable!
|
FOR THE DANCERS:
"Some Sunny Day It Is"* is a Stroll as well as a West
Coast Swing, "Even Tho'", from Webb Pierce's songbook
is a perfect Two-Step. "Back In The Swing Of Things" is
a triple step and is great for Two-Step, Pony Swing, Shuffle, Polka
and more. "Night Wings"* gives you the opportunity to
polish up your buckle. Track 5, Delbert McClinton's "Victim
Of Life's Circumstances" is another Pony as well as an East
Coast Swing, and "Sweet Fire"* is a Waltz that's in six-beat
phrasing throughout (C/W couples dancers will appreciate that).
Then here comes the bluegrass Ten Step, "U. S. Choice Prime
Grade A-1 Baloney"* followed by "Carmen", a beautiful
Cha Cha. Number Nine is "Queen Of Hearts", another ECS
and Flying Eights line dance. "Who Goes, Who Stays, Who Cares"*
is done in a Cash/Jennings styling and is great for Triple Two-Step
and more and finally the band is turned loose for and East Coast
Swing version of the Bob Gibson classic, "Oh, Lonesome Me".
Of course, any song that is great for couples dancing is also great
for line dancing and suggested line dances (as well as fixed pattern
partner dance suggestions) for all of the songs, along with their
step descriptions can be found by clicking on the "dances"
button.

FOR THE LISTENERS and ABOUT THE MUSICIANS:
Michael believed that when you get a second chance,
you don't settle for second best. Fortunately, through his membership
in the Northern California (now West Coast) Songwriters Association,
he met Rex Benson of Rex Benson Music, a music publisher who
offered him a publishing contract for Night Wings. Wanting the
best musicians available, Michael decided to record in Nashville
and asked Rex if he could recommend a good producer there. Rex
recommended Michael Palmer. Michael called Michael and they
made arrangements for the production of his CD. Michael Palmer
produced the CD and plays drums on it. You have heard his drumming
if you have been to, or seen on TV, any Garth Brooks concert.
His drums and drum cage are displayed in the Country Music Hall
of Fame in Nashville. All of those pedal steel and dobro licks
are compliments of Tommy White who's regular job is being staff
pedal steel and dobro player at the Grand Ole Opry. Keyboardist,Catherine
Styron Marx, has done much studio work with Ronnie Milsap and
many others. Everyone on the CD is of this caliber. Jason Mowery'
s violin and mandolin and Jimmy Mattingly's violin, Billy Hillman
plays lead guitars, Paul Dott offers rhythm guitars, Mark Greenwood
plays electric bass and is the engineer for the CD. Harmonica
is shared by Jim Hoke and "Jelly Roll" Johnson (well,
actually they each had their own), Brian Zonn is on upright
bass, and while Michael does many of his own harmonies, Russell
Terrell and Andrea Zonn have added great background vocals.
These musicians' credits include concert and/or studio work
with such greats as Skip Ewing, David Ball, Keith Urban and
many, many more.
