NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ ear-X-tacy Records) - Mickey's new CD, Winding Highways, was just released on Feb. 17 by ear-X-tacy Records and was produced by Grammy winner Jim Rooney. Special guests on the CD include Sam Bush,
Robin and
Linda Williams, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker and Kinky Friedman. Mickey's roots run deep into his days as part of the Greenwich Village folk scene and his songs have been recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys,
Jerry Lee Lewis and Tompall and the Glaser Brothers.
'Clark's music is a naturally flowing blend of cowboy country and mountain folk. Smooth and relaxed - coolly passionate if you will - he'll remind you a little of the Gibson Brothers and guest star Jerry Jeff Walker, and a lot of Don Williams, which, like this album, is an oh-so-very-good-thing.' - Vintage Guitar

During Colin's 30+years as a musician, he's had songs recorded by the Band, Keb' Mo' and The Blind Boys of Alabama, produced 70 albums, toured as a guitarist with Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams and Bruce Cockburn and won seven Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent of the Grammy). At the heart of everything Colin does is his love of country blues, and that's clearly shown on his new CD, From the Water, releasing May 19 on True North Records.
'Linden, who cites Son House, Charlie Patton and Howlin' Wolf as influences, has again lovingly mined the history of acoustic blues, creating something passionate and soulful that strikes gold today.' - Winnipeg Free Times
