I am so very proud to say Mickey Newbury was my friend. Shortly before his death in 2002, Mick invited me up to his home in Oregon for his final gathering of friends. These four songs are his final public performance. He wasn't at his best...but it's still PURE Newbury.
And still love you micky

I was and still am one of the memebers of the MNCult! I saw him in a small club near San Francisco in the 70's. I fell head over heels in love with him as I fell in love with his music a few year before. Thank you YouTubers for this wonderful way to be in his special company again.....

Micky wrote a song that our band (The Sound Investment) recorded and released in around 1967 on Laurie records called Come Back Baby. It reached number one on the Houston charts. It is posted here on YouTube. It was an honor for us to have recorded a song by one of the true great song writers of our time.
