CD Reviews

The Best of West -- so far.....
Mark Sargent | Gilroy, CA USA | 03/22/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you don't know who Mike West is, this is a great CD to start your West collection. I guarantee you'll want more. "Home" is Mike's best effort yet, and as much as I enjoyed "Redneck Riviera" that's a bold statement. Mike West is a rocker-turned-hillbilly that plays out of New Orleans, primarily with his wife Myshkin, an excellent performer in her own right. On "Home" Mike occasionally puts down the "Drill and Banjo" used so often in his last CD and blends more guitar and mandolin into the mix. "New Jersey", "Mississippi", "Squirrels", and "God Is Down in Oklahoma" are especially strong tunes, but in reality, there isn't a weak song on the CD. Even if you're like me (I'm a rocker by trade and not a big bluegrass or folk fan) you've got to appreciate the wit and wisdom that Mike brings to his CD's. Great Job Mike!!"
