CD Details
Synopsis
Album Description In the late 1990's Mic Harrison was a member of the alt-country band the V-Roys. The band put out two and half (an EP) discs on Steve Earle's label, E-Squared, before calling it a day and releasing their swan song, "Are You Through Yet?". Mic went on to form The Faults and after only one record he moved on to join alt-rockers, Superdrag. Although Mic released a pre V-roys solo record, "Pallbearer's Shoes" marks the debut of a mature writer and seasoned musician. Co-produced with Superdrag's Don Coffey, the album also features appearances by members of Superdrag (Don and John Davis), ex V-Roys bandmates (Scott Miller and Paxton Sellers), Guided by Voices (Doug Gillard) and Todd Steed.

CD ReviewsMic Harrison: Knoxville Favorite 06/02/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Pallbearer's Shoes was just released (...). But, I have been lucky enough to hear Mic recording this album for the last couple of months here in Knoxville. I have been fortunate enought to sit in during several recording sessions at 613 Studios while this album was being created. So, in a sense, I've had an advanced sample of this album. Although Superdrag may be having some difficulties as of the present, on this album Mic Harrison proves he has staying power as a solo musician. Each song has been maticulously crafted in to a small work of art. Mic's heart and soul has gone into this album. This is most obvious on tracks like Back to Knoxville, which -if i remember correctly- was written shortly after the death of his father. The laid back and often soulful country-rock nature of Harrisons writing keeps his albums interesting enough to listen to straight through, and over again. I appreciate what Mic Harrison has done with this album. It would be a shame for anyone to miss this one." Quality Music (period). steefin | 06/03/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Mic Harrison's new album can be summarized as an ideal combination of upbeat country rock tunes as well as gentle, heartfelt ballads.Harrison avoids over-indulgent commercial sounds and sticks to the music that he obviously enjoys. Some songs reflect a Gram Parsons sound while others are reminiscent of the Stones' rock/blues perfection.Pallbearers Shoes should be purchased by anyone who is in the mood for some great rock."
