    After releasing two critically acclaimed albums of other
    people’s music, Mick is back to what he loves the
    most: recording and releasing what he calls his
    own “Free Range Blues.” This new album,
    149 Delta Avenue, covers a multitude of
    blues styles and sub-genres. Mick has
    assembled a collection of fine new original
    songs and three of his favorites written by
    others. To bring this body of work to life
    he has brought together a stellar group of
    musicians that include the Taylor Made Blues
    Band, and some great guests.
    For this album Mick teamed with Grammy®
    Award and BMA winning producer Michael Freeman.
    The Taylor Made Blues Band for this album consists of David
    Dunavent on guitar and backing vocals, Leo Goff on bass, Lee
    Williams on drums and Chris Stephenson on keyboards, with
    Susan Marshall and Daunielle (“Pie”) Hill on backing vocals.
    Stepping up to add their magic are special guests Jeff Jensen,
    Eric Hughes, J,D. Taylor, Toronzo Cannon, Marc Franklin, Kirk
    Smother. Alice Hasen, Suavo Jones, and Marty Sammon (with
    Engineer Mike Wilson offering his whistling skills). Taking full
    advantage of his tastes and experience and the talents of the
    amazing musicians who helped him put this together, Mick has
    once again delivered a real treat for his listeners.
    The album opens with Mick’s song “I Can’t Slow Down”, which
    is his confessional about how he lives, followed by “US 12 to
    Highway 49”, which traces his lifelong blues odyssey. “Alternative
    Man” is a sexy blues tune in the classic “macho” sense, treated
    two different ways on this album. “Cotton Road” is a powerhouse
    song that Mick wrote after a conversation with the curator of
    Memphis’ Cotton Museum and driving on the road on which he
    lives (Cotton Road). “I Don’t Need no Doctor”, a song introduced
    by Ray Charles but also delivered by Humble Pie and others,
    has a special place in Mick’s heart, as does Larry Garner’s great
    composition, “Miss Boss”, which has been a mainstay in his live
    shows for years. Then there’s “The Viper”, which is just a fun song!
    Taken as a whole, this album represents Mick’s love of all styles
    of blues, as well as his continuing drive to improve as an artist and
    a songwriter.
