New MM album "HONKY TONK DREAMS".....coming April 2010

At The Crossroads


Mike McCarroll's 2007 debut album "At The Crossroads" reflects his analogy of music as a roadway with distinct intersections of genres. Country intersects with rock, rock intersects with blues, blues intersects with country, etc.

"There are intersecting points where one genre is almost indistinguishable from another" he says. "For example, rock is often mixed with country to the degree you have to wonder is it rock or is it country? As a songwriter, I try to write in a variety of those intersections. Different people like different things. While I am basically a country music artist, I hope my music provides a little something for everybody".

His music has been described as "kickin' country" "very authentic", connected to current times, and soulful. Mike's major influences include Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, Steve Earle, Alan Jackson, Chris Knight, John Mellencamp, Ray Scott, Montgomery Gentry and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The album features several top-notch session artists that include:

§ Jody Worrell (formerly of 80's gold album selling country band Atlanta) who provides outstanding slide guitar.

§ 2003 Grammy Award winning Texas fiddle player, Bobby Flores.

§ The great Tommy Detamore, on pedal steel. Tommy has played and recorded with numerous major artists and is considered one of the best pedal steel players in the world.
