If someone had described Mike June’s music as “heartland rock with a sharp political bent” I would have been sold before I even listened to the album.
This album is an instant favorite and I’m so glad Von featured it on Americana Rock Mix.
Not much to say about this album without sounding cheesy: poignant, humorous, intelligent, incisive. June’s powerful sense of melody allows the bitter pills of his lyrics to go down easily. It does not get better than this. Talkin’ Revolution Blues is just one of those albums that’s part of The Basics.
Listen and then purchase it for whatever price you choose.
