It's groups like CunninLynguists that keep me listening to hip hop. I'm fairly certain it was something my dad would have appreciated. He used to talk about how they "rapped" as kids, in Houston, and that it was "nothing new".
I hope it's artists like him that keep people listening to acoustic music. I say "acoustic" because I, like everybody else who has tried, am at a loss when it comes to categorizing his style.
if you ever would have sat and talked with him you would have been soooo blown away... his family is awesome and he took me under his wing like i was one of his own... i loved sitting with him in his room towards the end with his daughter and him singing his songs. he was very special to me!
There is no one like Mickey. Chris K. said, Mikey was the one who inspired him to write his famous songs. For a real treat, get the album, "Live from Montezuma Hall". There is a song called Bugger Red that will crack you up every time you hear it. Also on that same dvd is a song "to Monica" that is equally funny. He guy was a genius and didn't even know it.
There is and never will be anyone like Newbury. I bought his whole collection. You should hear his song about "Bugger Red". It is so funny. He is one of the greatest. He is singing for the Lord now.
Holy Shit!!! This is the most powerful music I've ever heard....bar none!!! I dicovered Mickey for the first time this eve and keep looking up songs....each one blows me away more than the last.... This guy is everything I've tried to be as a singer/songwriter....I can't believe I've never heard him before!!!!!

Anybody who can appreciate this should also listen to Ella Fitzgerald's version. It's just beautiful.

MIckey sings every song as though he lived it. He was a true singer.

Sung from the depth of his soul. He made every song his own.

He turns a normally upbeat song into an overnight stay at a motel on the outskirts of
Hell. Dear god, this is powerful stuff.
